yah, when i swapped between my nismo with advan sports and my weds with the DW, the weight difference was quite noticeable. (weds with dw lighter in weight).

i have some roads in my area with grooves in the asphalt made by tractor trailers. where other tires would tramline the Z quite a bit, the DW keeps the car very stable.

those are the two areas that make it worth while for me. but sidewall appearance can use some help for sure...
