As much as I plan to buy Continental DW to replace my stock, I would still prefer something from Michelin, mostly for what the brand is known for. But reading various reviews, I can't justify the additional cost and (potentially) shorter tread life.

Also, possibly due to cost, Michelin PS2 isn't listed as a best-seller on Tire Track. Continental DW, DWS, and Michelin A/S Plus are listed, each with average user review score of 8.9, 8.6, 8.3, respectively. Link: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireSe...ype=bestseller

I don't think there's a "right answer" in this case. Some people prefer superior handling, some prefer softer ride -- to each his own. So long as it's better than the stock Yokohama ADVAN A10F I have on, I'm happy.

If you are prepared to pay extra for Michelin, and you wear summer tires, you may want to wait till April for the Michelin Pilot Supersports.

seems like the sweet spot between performance and price.

540 AA rating too. damn

Getting Continental DW installed this coming Fri. Will report back should I notice anything. Also worth noting that the stock Yokohama Advan has been worn down to 3/32 rear, 4/32 front and getting a bit loud and unstable. They're not all dead yet, but it's been about 23.5k miles ...

I have them on my LS and love them. I cant believe the 540 tread wear rating AND available in 245/30/22 and 295/25/22..........25 profile tire and a high treadwear rating???????????? Its unheard of.

I just ordered my set today! 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 for 07 GS350 AWD for the Northwest (Washington State) weather. cant wait to get them mounted! These are replacing my FK452s (5/32nd tread) that suck in rain and snow.

I even got their promotional iFlip camcorder!

For those who had the stock Yokohama Advan A10F, when did you get them replaced? I just measured about 5/32" front and 4/32" back and am wondering if I'm jumping the gun on replacement a bit too early. I have about 23.5k miles on them.

hey guys quick question what do you guys recommended DW or DWS I'm getting them for almost the same price but still trying out to figure out the pro's and con's


I'm going for a quiet ride, smooth ride!

if you guys prefer any other tires your 2cents would help me out! thanks!

it really depends on your needs. Main difference between the two is the "S" in the DWS, which stands for snow.

If you don't need the cold weather/snow capability of the tire, go w/ the DW (Dry, Wet).

I personally went with the DWS for the occasional times I might encounter snow/freezing temps. I'm sure DW handles better in the dry, but it was a compromise that was easy to make.

User 121523

DWS is a must for sub-freezing weather since the material for DW hardens and loses a bit of stickiness. That said, since you're in Texas, I'm not sure how much of that you need and how often. DW actually has better wet traction in addition to dry.

I just picked up a set of DWS last week for myself and Michelin LTX MS2 for my wife and what a difference in ride quality for both cars! DWS is too soft for spirited driving or any performance cars but it suits this car perfect. Supple, quiet, smooth, and lack of feel. Michelin on my wife's GX is also 200% improvement over original tires. Now, both cars drive like it should have from the factory. Lexus needs to stop sourcing crappy tires on some of their cars.

Installing Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position tomorrow or Friday depending on when shipment gets in from tirerack. I'll post how they ride after a few days.

I'm going for a quiet ride, smooth ride as well and I was gonna go with the bridgestone Turanza Serenity because of all the good things ive heard about them! (comfort & smoothness wise) But now im reading about the DWS's and im just wondering whats the difference or which one is better??? Thanks
