Conti DW vs PSS Tread Life?

theinfamousdrew · 04-12-2013, 04:47 AM

Hey guys,
I need to make a decision today on a new set of tires.
From all the reviews I've read I have narrowed it down to the DW and the PSS.
The difference in performance is not a factor in my decision.
What am I most concerned about?
Tread life.

Have you owned either?
How long did they last?

Thanks for your input!

DW will last longer. I have it for a about 2 years but still plenty treads left (Still showing "W" on the tread). I don't track but I don't drive like a grandpa either.

did 5 track days with the DW last year and they still have plenty of meat left. Tread blocks are a bit rounded, but not much can be done about that.

I think I have about 7k road miles as well - tires probably still have 60% life left.

I had DWs on my e46 for 10k miles. They looked literally brand new at that point when I sold the car.

If you decide on DW's, I've got a pair of nearly brand new ones in 265/35-19 size for sale. PM me if you're interested
