    All season tire recommendation

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I will be getting a new set of rims and wasn't sure if I was going to keep my stock rims or sell them. If I kept my stock rims I would use them as winter rims and use the new rims for the summer. I would then have to swap my summer tires that came with the car to new rims and then put winter tires on stock rims.

    A lot of money to remount and balance plus owning two sets of rims so I am looking for options. I was looking at the Conti DSW06 for winter tires but if I wanted to use them all year around how good are they in the summer? Is there any other recommendations for a good tire all year round that's 235/35/19?

    I have those Conti's on my S4 (18"). I like them personally - still a good balance between handling, ride & noise. Older DWS's were smoother riding and quieter... these new versions have shifted to better handling at the expense of a little ride comfort and noise. On Tirerack they have gotten good reviews and the price is great.

    Thing is I don't plan on driving in anything other than light snow. I would rather save money with one set.

    Mounted Continental DWS06 on my new S5. No regrets. Read the reviews in these forums as well as in AW. These tire is an all-around good performer (light snow, dry, wet). You cannot go wrong with them.
    Current: 2016 S5 in Sepang Blue with Technik Package.
