I just put 1,100 miles on the Conti DWS's over the holiday, and I have to say that with the exception of even lower mpg's (hard to believe it could get worse!), I'm quite satisfied with my choice. The ride is not only improved over the 18" Goodyear runflats, but the tires are actually smoother than the 17" conventional winter tires I just removed. But the real surprise is the change in steering feel. Although the same size as the Goodyears, low speed steering effort is noticeably reduced, yet the feel at speed remains old-school BMW wonderful. If the factory Pirelli all-seasons have a similar feel to the DWS's, I can finally understand why some owners find the steering too heavy and others do not.
