I am torn between DWs and DWS's.. any thoughts? I was concerned the tread of the "S" would be a problem...Also did you notice any change in performance?

If you're in a state that gets some snow and plan to drive it in the winter time, get the DWS. For more snowy states, get a dedicated set of snow rims and tires.

The noise is significantly less with the DWS. Performance wise they've been really good so far for street driving and I don't drive hard enough to really miss a summer tire.

With damplifier pro and luxury liner pro from second skin in the trunk/doors and these new tires, the road noise isn't even a problem. All I really hear now is my exhaust.

So the DWS is less noise than the DW? I dont drive mine in the snow at all and I thought the bigger treads on the DWS would give more noise and less performance and smooth ride than the DW.. what thinkest yee?
