Actually I do use dedicated snow tires for winters. But I am now in Texas and on summer tires, will head back north in February, and don’t want to be driving into the northern lands on summer tires. So figured to put on all season that will get me home safely.
The Conti DWS says they’re for touring sedans not SUV (sorry SAV) but their specs of weight and speed loading are within x5 requirements.
