You're thinking of the DWS, this thread is about the DW. The added 'S' stands for snow. The DWS are all season tires and could likely get you through a light snow with no issues as long as you don't drive like a moron. The DW are horrid in snow. Ask me how I know.

Default DWS....Tire Pressure?

My OEM's , Potenza 050,with tread wear rating of 140, the recommended PSI is 35#. Now, with the Cont DWS, tread wear rating 560, should the tire pressure be tweeted a little, + or - ?

I never had any problem driving on light snow with the EXTREMECONTACT DWS
