I got the DWS..whatever size fits the sport model..i think its 19 in the back and 18 in the front...I think they are better than the stocks but so much of this is what you want..They are quieter and I do notice a VERY slight bit of looseness in the steering and a slightly smoother ride..These are trades I am willing to make.....,but a real diehard purist on the track might not like that,.,just to let you know,..I know some companies have a policy that says if you don't like the tire you can get another set,..I would definitely advise you do that..
I went with the DWS because the salesman said, and Guard Dad confirmed, that the S has a chemical in the rubber which prevents it from hardening in cold weather...which can make the tires loose traction. Maybe the DW would have been better for flat out racing and performance but I have to compromise a bit. I would never drive in snow simply for the reason that they salt and sand the roads and that is bad for the car...but it does get cold here and I was told that anything under 45 degrees is getting into a dangerous area...so better safe than sorry..
Good luck...
