contiental dws question
the tire guy said since the dws are bigger he needs to adjust the rear toe so they fit...does this sound right?
i gave this guy my specs on paper for the alignment. he totally made my car pull to the right. the left toe is at .06 and the right is .02.. haha gotta take off of work now
good tires nice and smooth

What size are you running? If its the stock size then no, no change was needed. Even if you plus sized I can't really see the need for it. I ran those tires on my C and my GLK, and on my C the rears were toast at around 25k miles but I got nearly 65k on the fronts. The fronts still had the "S" showing but the shoulders were a little worn. Sounds like the guy waisted your time...

I run DWS at stock size, this is my second set. No adjustments are necessary. My last set lasted 41k on the rears but the front shoulders were worn around 38k. Rotating across the axles helps somewhat.
Tires are great.. Super smooth and very quiet, also very good grip wet or dry.
