I don't like the Conti DSW's honestly. I have them in the front and there was a noticeable difference in feedback when cornering. Can't wait till they run out so I can replace with something better.

Conit DW however beat out HK's in TIrerack's survey, cost more but has longer treadwear. Look who comes in at No 9

The DWS, however if you dont mind ultra perforamance all season, has even higher treadwear than DW.

^ That link is awesome! Thanks
