We have PS A/S3 on our VW CC and they're not nearly as quiet as the DWS on the speed3 and the speed has wayyy less sound insulation. If you're looking for daily driving comfort, get the DWS.

The UHP all season Neo Gens I just put on the car are handling the power a LOT better than the Dunlops, even when 60F like today. They are 280TWR and not what I would call a legit 4 season tire with very blocky inners and outers and only 2 water channels.

The caveat here is I went with 235's and they measure 9.5" wide at 35psi, so there's an advantage for them. The slightly taller side walls offers less immediate response, but the lateral grip is *at least* as good, the ride is much quieter, and the slightly softer sidewalls are no doubt helping to put down the power in a straight line, and coupled with the freshly installed JBR RSB at medium stiff, I'm able to apply power leaving corners much earlier.

I was roasting the Dunlops through 3rd when it got cold. No bueno. Finkle suggested the Neo Gens when I asked about which tires are capable of handling 350+, and these weird hybrid tires haven't disappointed me at all. $490 for the set from DTD.

I've been considering something like Bridgestone RE11s, RS3s or possibly NT05. Only thing is the nittos only come with 7/32 tread to begin with, and they're a soft compound tire. Shit will wear the fuck out fast.

I need something sticky though, but its gotta be DD... FML.

You gotta stop thinking with your brain and think with your balls again. Your balls say sticky ass tires so you can lay the smack down on some unsuspecting candy ass in a "fast" car.

Well if I could let my balls think they'd say put slicks on the 16s and that's good nuff for DD.

I ran the stock Tires for maybe 3K miles when I noticed they were completely fucked. However I did buy the car used 23k on it and suppose the previous owner gave zero fucks about the car considering they looked something like this when I took them off...

Running on continental dws now.
