Has anyone used Continental ExtremeContact DWS before? I heard a lot good things about it, especially winter performance. But there are also complaints about its sidewall being soft. I just wonder if anyone here can comment on that.

I have them on my Acura. I'm happy with the tires and the grip is exceptional in dry and wet. Though the sidewall is definitely softer than the Bridgestone Potenza A/S tires I had on previously. Found that out the first time I took a turn hard. The ride is better though. I haven't driven in snow so I can't comment on that. I would definitely purchase them again.

Thanks a lot for the input. I will see how the OEM tires do before I decide to swap them out.

I have an AWD F-Sport and have noticed a big difference between run flat and non-run flat tires for all seasons.

In terms of non-run flat all season tires the Hanook V12's and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3'S are pretty solid

In terms of the run flats the Pirelli All Season Nero's are really great and offer pretty good wet and snow traction with a 45k tread wear warranty. http://www.1010tires.com/tires/Revie...ero+All+Season

I use the CONTINENTAL CONTROL CONTACT SPORT SRS+ and I get great performance plus 30,000 miles before needs to be replaced...
