Time for new tires! I have a 2011 370Z Coupe with Sport Package (12,500 miles) and I was thinking of switching to All-Season tires: ExtremeContact DWS(Ultra High Performance All-Season) .

ExtremeContact DWS (Ultra High Performance All-Season)
Time for new tires! I have a 2011 370Z Coupe with Sport Package (12,500 miles) and I was thinking of switching to All-Season tires:
ExtremeContact DWS(Ultra High Performance All-Season). I live in North Jersey and need something with better traction than our stock Potenza RE050A summer tires. Would you recommend the DWS for rain and light snow? |

I do not have these tires.
However, my brother has these on his Charger SRT8, and drives his car daily, even on light snow, and he has nothing but good reviews on these tires. Hope this helps. |

The Conti DWS and the Michelin AS3s are probably our most popular all season tires! You'll be happy with the DWS!

 With AWD, the DWS are great. But I have heard less than stellar things about them on RWD vehicles in anything more than very, very light snow. If you plan on driving year round in New Jersey, you're probably better off with another set of wheels with full on snow tires like Blizzaks for the snow days.

I have only used the dws on my celica years ago, I liked them, never tried any autocross but a good tire. I have the DW on my Z now 265/305 and like these tires a lot, only had them about 3000 miles but they are good in rain and handle well traction wise
