Conti DWS 20's on 214's Snow review

Yeah the fronts are out everywhere. Guess I'll be riding around on Dunlops this winter and will make a change at the end of the summer.

dry handling is good, not as good as stiff runflats

i dont push the x to the limits so these are perfect for me.

if i get a puncture i have a sealer and portable pump to get me to the tire shop, it is a downside of non rft. but for half price plus improved dry/wet/snow ride and road noise is a great deal.

another factor is that thread rating is much higher than stock, these last around 50k but stock rft's you'll only get 15 - 18k

i also got insurance for them ($25 a tire) in a case of unusual puncture or a cut, if they dont have same tires they will have to provide equivalent, which are all double the price so im not worried

I have the dunlop sportmaxx on my 214's and I am going to trade them out to the michelin lattitudes later on in the spring. since I only have 1900 miles on them now, I'll just let them sit in the garage until I return the vehicle in 34 months.
