I'd still buy the DWS over any garbage Michelin, so there's that, haha.

I just don’t wear tires out fast enough to play the field.

I was thinking the same thing, but with the DWS06's.

When I owned my GTI, I ran the DWS as my winters and PSSs for the summer. I actually found the the turn in sharper and the ride more harsh when running the DWS06's. The PSS's had a more measured, even turn in and the ride was a bit more comfortable.

This may be the first time I've heard a Michelin tire described as "garbage."

So you'd buy a DWS all season over a Pilot Sport 4S?

He's probably running the ECS. I liked them over the PS4 or PS4S, they seemed to shed water better.

Different use tires. Having owned DWS06 and now PSAS4, I would buy the DWS06+ over PSAS.

Right, but re-read his quote: "I'd still buy the DWS over any garbage Michelin, so there's that, haha."

I think it was meant tongue in cheek. Like saying "I would rather eat a shit sandwich then McDonald's" kinda way.

Clipdat · 03-03-2023, 01:04 PM

To be fair, McDonalds is pretty gross.

DocWalt · 03-03-2023, 03:05 PM

so are Michelins

Clipdat · 03-03-2023, 03:34 PM

I just ordered a set of PS4S. Pretty sure they're going to be better than DWS.

DocWalt · 03-03-2023, 04:21 PM

If you need a more summer oriented tire, sure. They'll cord and cycle out well before ECS02 would have though

Clipdat · 03-03-2023, 05:22 PM

Well this is California, we don't have actual seasons.

I thought some of you got to experience a season called "winter" recently?

Clipdat · 03-04-2023, 01:12 AM

lol, because it rained for a few weeks and got down to 39 at night?

I'm originally from Wisconsin, this isn't winter!
