Continental DSW Tires
Bought a set about 3 months ago and find them a bit spongy or am I running on low pressure? They are very quiet and I really like that. What's your opinion on those tires?

My impression is that the w204 suspension is spongy, yet the tires are great. I have them on my rear wheels, and DW on my front wheels. They are quiet, have good tread life and grip performance. They are very solid ALL SEASONS. My friend has a set on his 350z and the car handles wonderfully, another friend has them on his 335i, also does well. My pals lose grip quite easily, though they are pushing 300 to the crank. If you want good summer tires, the DW are good and the Michelin pilot super sports are king.

I have then on my 370Z. Got 50K out of the rears and like my C300 the tires can not be rotated. They are a good handling tire and are relatively quiet. Once I have to replace the OEM tires on my C class I will be switching to the DWS.

I bought a set of Conti DWS 5 months ago for my C350 coupe. Good tires overall and I agree they are definitely more "spongy" than the Pirelli P Zero Nero AS tires that were OE on the car. The Pirelli's rode harder but cornered better than the Conti DWS, but one (or two?) of them also developed flat spots after about 18K miles.

Yep, not as planted feeling as Conti Pro-Contacts that came with my C250 Sport, but an outstanding grand touring tire. Did a round trip drive from San Jose, CA to Rochester, MN and the only place they were rough were where the roads were really rough. Namely in California. Go figure.
