Surprisingly, I don't drive that aggressively. I rarely get on it full throttle off the line. The DW was definitely on my list, even the DWS I have heard performs great and has a phenomenal rating. I spoke to a guy this weekend with a 660 RWHP Charger running DWS and he loved them, got 12-15K out of them.
Other option was the Nitto NT555. Had a set on my 03 cobra and they did very well also. Plus, potential to run a 285 since they tend to run a bit narrower!!!

I know the DWS all-season tires have been well-reviewed but I have run all-season tires (Michelin) on some of my tuned BMW xDrive cars (335i, 750i) and they simply do not feel as responsive/composed when it comes to cornering.
I do not have any experience with that particular Nitto model.
Yep. Continental makes the ExtremeContact DW, which is a max performance summer tire that rides smoothly/quietly and still has monster grip.
The DWS is Continental's all-season version of the ExtremeContact DW.
Most LCI C63s w/ 18" wheels come with the Continental ContiSportContact 5P, which is Continental's equivalent to the Michelin Pilot Super Sport.
All of the new BMW M3s and M4s come with PSS but soon, all M3s and M4s with 19" wheels will be arriving with the ContiSportContact 5Ps as well.

Here are some pics for reference. I think they look great. Fill in the wheel gap nicely and provide a little meat!

thank you for providing a perfect angle with the 275's. they look perfectly fine to me. not sure why so many say they aren't made for a 9" wheel. i guess that boils down to technicalities.

Wow, I'm surprised. Your 275's don't look as tall as others I've seen. Maybe I'll bump up to 275 from my 265. Going from a stock 255 to 275 is 20 mm which is .78 inches, if my calculations are correct. That's quite a difference in width.

the trick is seeing how other 275's look. the ones posted above seem to fit perfectly flush with the quarter. which is what i would want. but i might not necessarily go with those exact tires, however.

Getting my PSS's installed on friday! 245 front/ 275 rear. My only concern is the lowered suspension, but hopefully it will clear it.
