Welcome to the forum.

Most people here seem to like the Continental ExtremeContact DW or DWS. I'm on my 4th set.

I went with the Michelin's Primancy MXM4's. They were a little expensive but I've been very pleased with low noise, tread life, and handling. I live in the south, so not much snow here, either the Michelin's oe the Conti's will be a great choice. Good luck!!

Just depends on your driving style & habits (spirited driving/commute/city driving, etc) also where you reside... TireRack has a good selection and review of the M's recommended tire sizes.

I also had these tires at one point. They were much 'softer' than the DWS, so I went back to the DWS.

I had, on my 2007, tires in this order: DWS, DWS, MXM4, DWS.

On my 2011, I will be going with a different tire because the wheels I'm about to install are dedicated summer sets. The wheels I have now, which have DWS's, will be relegated to full-winter duty.

^ hey Ilya,

hope all is well with ya! Just curious, now that I'm living in CT and will face my first true winter here this coming season...I was actually looking at the DWS 06 version or just the DWS, will that be enough for the winter? Or something along the lines of Blizzaks or Michelin winter styles??

thank you!

DWS is more than fine if you use your brain while driving in snow lol. However, I see you have a sport model and not the AWD version...so I'm not entirely sure in your situation. The tires themselves should do the job, but I'm not sure how RWD (100% power going to the back vs a 50/50 split) will affect it.

Then again, you aren't in upstate NY/western NY or the Berkshires or Boston...so you may be okay in CT. They don't usually seem to get hit as bad as we do.
