Yeah, we got 13" here in Keyport this morning. Moving the cars around last night, there was about 7" on the ground. Not going to lie, my X with the Conti DWS's actually had a bit of a time finding traction. The DSC light came on several times. I mean, WAY better then Michy or Bridgestone... but was actually a little surprised. I expected a little bit more, but you know what, it still did just fine and I have no problem endorsing the DWS's for excellent value and traction. Driving this morning on unplowed NJ Parkway and I-78, the X did 55mph without a problem and stopping on snowpack was still very good.

I think I expected a bit more because the 4.4 had them wrapped around the X, but on 18's not 20's. So tire diameter and width does make a difference. When I had them on the 4.4, they were excellent! Ran them through fresh 18" snow in 2010(Got caught in an early snow) and they got me through no problem.

I just wish I mounted the Blizzaks on my 18's and threw them on. I am anxious to test them out.
