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

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.

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

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

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