I bought the DWS instead of DW because the tread wear rating is 540 (last at least 50k miles). Either one will be much better and cheaper than the stock tires. I am very happy with these new tires - they are smoother, quieter, & cheaper.

Much better in terms of treadwear, sure. But the DWS will have no where near the dry weather performance of the RE050As. Of course if you're primary concern is treadwear I'm sure that's not a big deal. The DWS is probably the best all-weather tire as it has some light snow capability.

Totally agree. DWS can't match other high peformance summer tires on performance.
For non-extreme/track drivers, DWS has high rating on all categories which are well suited for all road conditions.
