The DW doesnt help a ton with how rough the road feels but does have the sloppy turn in of a soft sidewall. They are supposed to have a new compound coming out in the next month or two that addresses that concern though. Seems like a decent one to try if you can wait a couple months.

It did handle the rain more than adequately the little time I was in it down here in CA. But I also haven't had issues with my RS3s in the downpours we have been having lately either.
