Conti DWS 06 is awesome tire. I had Michelin Pilot AS 3 but they wore out in 17K miles. I put the Conti on my new TLX and they are awesome tires.

True, but most tire warranties require the tire to be at the tread wear bars 2/32. Michelin is more flexible, but you have to fight as a safety hazard. They offered me 45% with 4/32 left on my AS/3,...
