the DW has ultimate grip, but there is sort of this blank area especially when going through an s-curve where the vehicle weight shifts from left to right... i loose about 0.2-0.3sec of information feeding back to the steering wheel.

that's kinda scary at first, but as long as you know that the grip is there after that fraction of a second, it's not a bad tire. upping the front psi by 2 or more vs the rear has improved getting rid of this blank feeling...but i know my other tires are much more superior as far as feedback goes and overall everything. hahaha

the best part about the DW is its weight. 5lbs lighter than RE050, S04, 2-3lbs lighter than PSS and Advans.

what we notice on the GT6 is the driving dynamics/physics is much better and realistic than GT5, and it probably gives more calculation/work to the CPU thus they have to low the video quality to compensate that.

however, the driving is more realistic and the car is more sensitive on setup changes.

and.... a set of good steering wheel is a must..
ahh, i c! more things to think about. i shall make a very informed decision. thank you, mr.alcheng.
