Max Capacity Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 In the tire forum I think you'll see a lot of us run the Continental DWS as a all-season tire. Both my cars have them. I also run snows in the winter. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

robinlsb Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 You can get Conti DW (not dws) for about 130 per tire plus shipping from tirerack. Best summer tire on market "Belief does not make truth.

Chris GTO TT Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm currently running Bridgstone Potenza S04 Pole Positions .... but they are slightly out of your price range. Based off of personal experience I cannot recommend Continental DWS's very soft sidewalls offer very vague handling and turn-in. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimmSpeed Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I had very good luck with Federal ss595. They are very reasonably priced. I got a set of 235x40x18 for $79 per tire. Taras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
