Buy this tire!
May 2012, Columbus, Ohio, USA. Midwest weather can and often changes rather rapidly. This tire handles such changes with little notice. In the spring and autumn our weather can vary greatly in temps. in a few hours, and from sun to snow even quicker. The summer months are often HOT and HUMID, with severe storms that dump inches of rain in a short period. The winter months are just as difficult; clear blue to Blizzard conditions in a matter of hours, with exterme COLD and heavy snow and at times thick freezing rain! The DWS has dealt with all these changes without difficulty. If you drive keeping the weather and road conditions in mind, this tire will provide you excellent service. A little extra bonus is the comments I have received about the tread design. They have varied widly, but always positive.
In conclusion, BUY this TIRE!

Good wet traction. Above average ride/handling. Some vibration
Currently driven over 23K miles on them (80% highway, 20% city). Plenty of thread life left. DWS wear bars are still visible. Terrific traction in wet condition. Drove through a torrential rain on a highway at 75 mph and there was absolutely no hydroplaning. As to the ride quality - feels softer than OEM at same tire pressure. In fact, higher the outside temperature, the more rubbery the tires felt rather than becoming stiffer. The dry traction and handling are on par with OEM tires, but DWS seems have higher rolling resistance as indicated by a loss of about 1 mpg fuel consumption on the average compared to OEM. DWS seems to have a better grip, but the cornering feel is less sure, perhaps due to the softer feel. This is NOT a track tire. Snow traction is above par, but it's not a snow tire. After initial 5K miles, developed vibration issues that could not be fixed via repeated road force balance. It's not too harsh, but very annoying. In cold weather (below 50 degrees F) the vibration is very noticeable. At above 65 degrees the issue is less noticeable, but it's there between 60 mph - 80 mph range. It was quieter than OEM when new, but after 5K miles, the noise level was on par with OEM.

great all arounder, but lot of Vibration issues
I've ran 2 sets of these on my 02 BMW 530i last car with good results with moring flat spotting for the first 10 min, I just installed them on my 07 BMW 530i the flat spoting is much worse and I've bad vibrations issues with them. I had them rebalanced, wheels checked for bends and the car gone over same problem. The bald Brigstones ran smooth, these do not no matter what i do. both the Bridgestones and DWS tire where the same load rang.
I just now learned their changing the load ranges on this tire, hoppfuly it fixes the issues.
