Continental DWS
I have a 2010 base touring, my back tires where done (15000 miles) so I tried replacing just the back with DWS. The difference in tread from OME on the front and DWS on rear is screwing up the traction control, steering and overall feel.
I am going to replace the front too. Did anybody else notice this with just two new tires? I have seen other people on this board who love the DWS. I live in upstate and might get caught by a stray April if not May snow storm so I thought all seasonal would not be a bad idea. I thought the Continentals might last a little longer too. For those that are running all four Continental DWS, do you feel any of this? |
