I havent tried them but they are getting good reviews,,and the price with a road hazard warranty isnt bad either,,all I know is the OEM Contis are not good in snow.

The DWS gets good reviews but they still cannot come close to even the cheapest winter tire for snow performance.
These tires would be appropriate for someone to use year round in a climate like NC or Georgia that seldom sees snow - although they have gotten quite a bit in the last few years.
It is not a substitute for snow tires in the northeast.

I had good luck and very few issues with Pirelli snowsports,,but Im not looking to change out wheels every spring and winter.. This 4wd should be decent with moderate snowfall. Last yr I hit alot of Unplowed roads and hi-ways due to my work sched.(midnites)..

I'm in the same boat with having to be mobile at any time of day or night so I'm biting the bullet and doing the wheel change twice a year since I've experienced first hand what a difference a snow tire makes.
