I'm debating whether to get the DWS or DW. I have a G35 and already have some snow tires on (although I think they will last only one more season if I'm lucky). Its a daily driver. The DWS are cheaper and have a better tread life, but the DW look nicer and I assume perform better? Not sure if the DWS all season would be any good in winter on my car?
Doesn't seem anythin is...even these bridgestone winter tires I have.

Any suggestions?

Sorry for the late bump but are there any other sites to consider? Here are the prices I have compiled for some tires I'm interested in. Tirerack is giving a flip cam with purchase of 4 continentals too which kinda offsets the $15 more than they charge over discount tire. The tirerack prices are shipped btw.

I think the jack of all trades idea works for me as I don't really do much high performance driving, rather have a tire that will last a long time, is quiet, and good in the rain which is what the DWS are. Those Kumho LX are by far the cheapest tires but I take it that they are crap from tirerack review lol

i need some new rubber soon too...

Does treadepot ship to Canada? I don't see it on their shipping option??

I need a pair of 225/40 and 255/35 R18...
currently running Michelin PS2 RFT...and everyone seems to suggest conti. extremecontact dw
Any recommendations?

only thing I am worry about the dw is that...the PS2 i am running now have very quick steering response, and from what i've read, the extremecontact dw have a much slower response compared to the PS2.....(but it is almost half the price)
