These are the ones I'm buying too. I've heard great reviews of them, and they are an A/S tire, which is what I need here in Minnesota. the DWS stands for Dry Wet aand Snow. they have a 50K mileage guaranty on them too. try to find that on a performance tire. And the price is very reasonable. My tire dealer at Quicklanes shows 130 for the fronts and 200 for the rears.
