if you only drive your car in the dry, even more favorable.
I still wouldn't do it.

Default mini review

just got all four Conti DW installed along with a 4 wheel alignment. So far so good. Only logged a couple of days driving on these. Seem to have very similar grip to potenzas and are fairly quiet. I think the dw tires are also lighter then the potenzas that come with the Z sport package.
