Might just get 2 DWS for rear, or replace all....
Which do you recommend and why? Thanks! :cheers:

Replace all with Conti DWS. I put them on my G37 and they felt much better than OEM.

I went with Michelin Pilot AS3 and they felt much better than OEM

Hope this helps.

I should have said...I currently have DWS at all 4 corners. About 33K miles on them with no rotations.
Rears lost the S....The fronts still have DWS.
Wonder if the Michelins would do better.
The DWS were def. not as sticky as the S-Drives and not nearly as much fun in the corners due to the DWS soft side walls.
now leaning toward just getting 2 rear DWS....or maybe 2 A/S 3 on rear, then A/S 3 on front later.

It's always tricky to have two different tire construction and tread compounds on the front and rear. It WILL affect your handling and not necessarily in a good way.

Good point!! I have heard that. Fronts are still looking too good to replace. With spring/summer coming might just run the rears on down some more. Really would like to try something else though....
