Proxes st/II vs DWS

FernMD · #1 04-11-2011, 10:10 AM

I am looking to get new tires for my 214's. I currently have the bridgestone Deulers RFT and was looking for something a little more comfortable and quiet that handled well in the rain. I have an extra set of wheels and tires for the winter so I dont care about winter performance.

I have read a lot of reviews on both and was looking for other members opinions. Does anyone know if the Toyo's get louder after 20k miles like the older version?

I have DWS on my acura TL type S and they feel a little soft/squishy. How do they handle on the X5?

Thanks in advance

I am looking at getting the Duelers when my Dunlops go---how many miles did you get on yours ?

I have less than 1k miles on them. Replaced them last year and then took the 20's off for winter. We had a pretty rough winter and the streets took some abuse, so I was looking for something a little more comfortable for driving on these CT roads. Was thinking of selling the bridgestone and getting either the DWS or the Proxes st II's

I have had the Duelers, and latitudes. I now have Vreds and love them. They are great in the rain and cost effective.. I have 15k on them and they seem great so far

I have Duelers HL 400 107H 19" on mine and the front ones are almost gone in about 1500 miles. The back ones are still good but I can see the wear. Totally hate the tires.

I am myself contesting between Vreds and DWS. I was told Vreds in 19" and 20" are All Season (by tire-easy.com folks), and I am not sure if they are. I thought they were Summer Performance tires only.

Something must be wrong with how the tire is fitting or an alignment issue.

The Ultrac Sessanta are a Summer tire in all sizes. The Quatrac 3 are all seasons.

So how are they wearing. The DWS tires on my TL look as new as the day I got them, and I have almost 10K on them.
