I am about to pickup some Continentals DWS like you. You like them?

Your location says Miami! Do you really get snow that much? The DW version might be more suitable

I was having a hard to deciding between the DW and DWS. Being that I live in San Diego, and we see very little of anything but dry weather, I ordered the DW. But after doing more research and reading other reviews on the DWS, many have been quite happy with the performance of the DWS in dry locations. The tread wear is what really appealed to me. As much as I like performance and grip, I couldn't ignore the life of these tires, and from what I've read, the performance isn't so bad(with the additional quieter and softer ride). So I went ahead an ordered a rear set of the DWS. I hope I've made the right decision. Has anyone regretted the DWS over the DW?

I "accidentally" ended up with the DWS after originally ordering the DW. They're finally broken in and I gotta say, the grip is great and so is the noise. They're great tires.
