I have about 34k on them and they've been great. They have about 4/32nds of tread left, so they could go farther but they're a little twitchy in the rain.

Not sure yet, but based on reviews the Pirelli Cinturato P7 Plus may be a little smoother and quieter...and cheaper. We'll see.

Let me know how the Pirellis performs when you get to change shoes. I am always trying to make my ride smoother too. Ive heard Contis DWS is pretty good too.

Let me give you my horrendous experience with the Continental DWS. They are lousy tires. Super soft and terrible quality control. All of them come out of round pretty much. I tried them 3 times on 3 different cars and all of them had excessive road force and couldn't balance well. The cars (Lexus GS, BMW 535, and Audi A8L would vibrate crazy at high speed). I didn't care about the cheaper price which is why people by the DWS for the price. They are good when they are perfectly round but then again they get out of round quickly and lose balance faster then Michelins. They also are easier to cut the sidewall and damage the internal belt when hitting potholes. I ditched them within a week and went to Michelins again. I wanted to try something different but I am going to say avoid the DWS at all cost!!!!
