Conti dws6 owners!

I had my contis for a few months and love them- I have my second set of lx20 eco plus on my wife's mdx great tires

This will be the first winter I'm going to have with them on my 335 xdrive - just wondering has anyone else ran them through some good snow and if the car had good traftion?

Last winter I was caught in the light snow with my summer runflats and was like ice skates really scary -

Glad they are gone made my car run so harsh horrible - rides great now

I've only run them in heavy rains and they were 1000% better than stock run flats. Looking at them visually compared to PSS they dont look like they would be quite as good as the PSS's in snow but I have ZERO experience ever driving in snow.

You will be fine until they are worn below the S stamped in the tread. pss are summer only tires so I don't know what he's taking about. I did fine this winter with a 328i with wide 18" wheels. an xi should have no problem at all.

PSS in the snow...? Are you joking?

The older style DWS tires mounted on my wife's Ford Fusion (FWD) do well in light snow and to my great surprise, the Bridgestone Drive Guards on my RWD E91 do even better!
