Have about 300 miles on them so far and love them. Very quiet and more comfortable than the GForce's I just had. No hard cornering yet but great braking and WOT feel, even at lower temps where the GForce's would set off ABS and VDC.

diid you have the Gforces on all 4?

S-04 hands down. the S-04 won 2nd place in Car and Drivers "Monsters of Grip" Summer Tire review. They we just shy of first place which of course went the the Pilot Super Sports.

Same situation here - need new rubber for my 14 base+sport.

Had Conti DSWs on my G35 which was a daily that saw 30k/year spirited miles.

Hearing good things about the BStones though. One thing I like about the Conti is a 25k tread wear warranty, 50k if the shop doesn't enforce the lack of rotation policy.

Car is a second vehicle used for fun spirited drives only. No track.

Hi,

I just installed 4 brand new Bridgestone BFG Comp 2 A/S on my car. At first, it feels quieter than the stock tires. Second, steering wheel response feels better vs OEM. After driving with the new set, I felt like our OEM tires oversteer. Third, great traction on wet and dry roads even in curves. I have not had a chance to test it in the snow yet so I have no comment on that. Fourth, it looks aggressive on our car.

My only concern now that I have about 100 miles on the new tires is that for some reason at speed 70mph+, my steering wheel wobbles a little bit. It used to not do that with the OEM set. I'm not sure if the tires needs to be broken in or bad balancing.

rebalance,,,believe the best machine is roadforce(?) wheel weight could have fallen off.

Got some S04s and so far, so good. From what I hear the DSWs are a great tire if you need more longevity and more of an all season tire. For me, its a second vehicle that I'd like to get max (or close to) performance out of most of the time that I drive it. Should the S04s suck, back to the DSWs I'll go!

good choice. for warmer months the S04's will beat the DWS hands down..plus the S04's look so much nicer too.

the new DWS06 is even better dan the DWS. i run the DWS06 on my STI's winter set as the car came with summer tires.

Did you get them locally? I got mine at Discount Tire in Cordova and they gave me a great deal.

Got them at the local Firestone and they beat Tire Rack out the door. And the guy there knew his poop.

I do need some tires for my daily driver though - will likely do Discount Online
