GForce, S04 Or Continental DW?

S04 is a really great tire. Very sticky on dry and wet. A tiny little bit louder than stock but not much. Great tire. Highly recommended.

I had the DWs as my last tire.
They are awesome in the wet, but I wouldn't trust them in the snow.
I currently have DWSs and they aren't great in the snow. They're OK, but I run snow tires in the winter.

Not as loud as our stock tires. Does great in rain. I have also driven fine in 1-2 inches of snow great tires overall and highly recommended for all season tires.

if u want slight snowish traction, the DWS06 (all-season) is not bad. i started running this on my STI a few months ago and they feel much better than the DW on my Z. lol i currently run RE11's on nismo wheels on my Z.

DW isnt necessarily bad, they just feel real soft so expect to run high psi on the front. like 38 range
