Tires matter

I'll just leave this here. I think a lot of the armchair benchmarks being bandied about aren't taking into account something that apparently has a LOT bigger factor in performance than we really consider.

Seems like it might be a good idea to include date of tread design/rubber compound debut--not just MFG year....

I liked the DW on my C6 but I loved the Ohtsu fp8000. For everyday spirited driving they were as good, wear was as good and crazy cheap

Wow, crazy cheap is right!

Just looked them up on Amazon. Could shoe all four corners for less than $500!! That tread pattern looks awfully familiar🤔

I've had the previous DWS's on my old car--and I loved them. I can't imagine how much better they are now. I trust ZE GERMANS to make tires much better than I trust ZE FRENCH.
