Just had the new Conti DWS's installed. And all I can say is,..WoW all over again. These have to be the smoothest tires ever made.

So, what are my gains and loses:

Gains:
1) The noise of the runflats is GONE!
2) The suspension isn't beat up on hard bumps,..being that DWSs actually have a "sidewall" that works,...i.e., gives.
3) Suspension can stay in "Sport" setting all the time now.

Loses:
1) The razor sharp respond is gone! The suspension needs to "set" now vs being 'instant on' all the time.
2) Probably don't want to be in other than Sport mode for aggressive handling. (At least until your memory of how well the run-flats cornered fades)
3) Incredibly HARD sidewall! I mean incredibly STIFF!
