I use the Michelin Latitudes. Pirelli snows. Used to use Vredesteins on my 1975 Datsun 280Z. An excellent wet weather tire.

Conti DWS 06 working very well on my '05 4.8is. Only concern is my X often sits for a week or more ar a time the Contis flat spot more quickly than the OEM Michelin Diamante (which i did not like otherwise). Time required to eliminate the flat spot is directly proportional to days sitting. Would still buy again as they are great otherwise.

I currently use the Vredestein Ultrac Vortis on my summer staggered E53 wheels. Unreal wet/dry grip in hot weather, useless below 40 deg F. Don't even think about driving them on snow (near ZERO grip!).

Another vote for Continental DWS tires, excellent 4-season tires.
I think the new name is "DWS 06" or something like that. Wait for rebate around this time of the year, I think once a year, tire mfg's give rebate such as buy 4 tires, get a rebate of $80 or sth like that...

My wife has DWS06 on her E70 with staggered 20" 214's - phenomenal tire so far and she loves it - they do run somewhat wider for their size, compared to my Toyo Proxes STII mine look flush with the wheel but hers have a bit of extra width, and her wheels are .5" wider than mine....

I have only one cautionary note about the Conti DWS, not an issue for you guys up north - they are a bit soft for summer use on hot Georgia asphalt. I'm probably the only guy in Georgia who swaps out for summer tires, but do and will do so in the next month. I'm due a new set of summer tires and am leaning toward the Conti Cross Contact UHPs, reasonably priced and higher wear scores than more expensive Michelins.

^^Good call and thanks Riggo - wife and I are moving to NC so I will keep it in mind, not as hot as Georgia, but in between -

Worthy of noting, the Conti Touring Contacts currently on the Benz have a treadwear rating of 320, the new Conti Extreme Contact DWS 06 has a 560 rating. more grip and longer tire life? Sounds like a win/win. I'm currently shopping for a set of AMG staggered wheels for the W211 Benz, for a set of Ultrac Vorti summer tires. The BMW & Benz will run staggered Vredestein summer tires from May to Oct, square Conti AS tires the other months. Looking at the rolling tire storage rack Tire Rack sells, anyone have this?
