The car is a weekend driven car, no autocross or anything like that. Just occasional street racing and cruising. My question what is the major differences in these two tires, 4ply vs 2ply maybe? I was going to buy the cheaper ones but wanted to get opinions first.
Not a big fan of the DWS's. I was interested in the T1S because it seemed like a nice tire for the money.
it is, not sure if they have improved but they were in production a decade ago and were really good at the time. a ps2 rival for less money. this is the old compound. if it's been updated it's likely even better. if it hasn't it's still not bad
night and day better than the re760 which is the only other in OE sizes.
i would personally buy this tire for stock wheels over the other available choices

I currently have the re760's and I'm not very impressed with them. I already have a set of T1S front tires sitting in the garage waiting to go on, I'm going to put in my order for the rears soon. I hope to see a noticable difference over the re760s
Yes, definitely please post up impression after you put them on and get some miles on them. I have 255/295 Conti DW on my street wheels and whiel traction is good.... the soft sidewall makes me a little sad when I turn the wheel.

I will def follow up with feedback. The DW's are nice tires and there was a good sale on tire rack but I read about the soft sidewall and that's what kept me from buying them.

also correct. the t1s use to be and i hope still is similar to the ps2
it's not the highest grip tire on the planet but it's stable, has good feedback. overall i felt it was a good all purpose sports car tire
modern top tier street tires like the pilot super sport outshine it but they are also not available in stock z06 sizes. if you have a high powered car you may need softer compounds. the only other tire, the nt05 doesn't really gain you much in the warm dry vs the t1s. it's maybe a little better but it gives up everywhere else
the re760 i felt was a terrible street tire. it was okay to launch and could go striaght well enough but the feedback was just terrible in a corner. you really had no idea where traction was until it started to let go and then it REALLY let go. steering response was numb, rain performance was really sub par. it reminded me a lot of an economy car tire
i don't mind the DW on luxury cars. the steering is indeed numb, soft sidewalls but above average rain performance and better traction than the 760. however, they still aren't as good as the t1s for this application

Agreed. The re760 hooks okay and is just fine for daily driving but as far as cornering and steering response they perform poorly. I dont have any personal experience with the DW's or T1S, yet, but from the research I've done your response is spot on. I was also upset that my re760's only have about 10k miles on them and are dry rotted. I understand they are about 6 years old but they have been kept in a garage the better part of their life. Pretty disappointing.

makes a guy wonder why bridgestone didn't make the really good re11 in stock z06 sizes. even the s04 would have been a HUGE improvement
