Going up snowy hill with DWS and RWD

infinitigor · 12-12-2014, 10:43 PM

Just found an old video from a year ago, was able to get up a snowy hill with the continental DWS tires

The tires are good for 1-3 inches of snow, if you get more than that then best to get winters, no regrets getting RWD!

How do you like the DWS for the other 3 seasons? I have a 2012 F30 and hoping for an improvement in handling over the Conti run flats that were standard.

DWS is an all season, and a bit of momentum + traction control help

how do you like those tires overall? Ice, Cold, Snow, Rain... How do they perform

They're fine for way more than 3 inches of snow. I drove on them in this last "blizzard" and they were flawless. Didn't even have to dig out the car. Just made a path to the door and the car pulled/pushed itself out, pushing the snow with the front bumper. My family is on our 4th set of these and I wouldn't trade them for anything else.

They are amazing in the snow (best all season in the snow that I have ever used) but leave a little to be desired in the other 3 months. They aren't the fastest reacting tire, have a bit of lag at turn in when driving aggressively. Just a little soft all around. There are other all season tires that are much more performance oriented.
