I have DWS, one thing to note though about them is your alignment better be perfect.
I had alignment issues with my mich's, I took it in and they got it pretty good, just a little pull, but tolerable still. I put the DWS's and that created a really bad pull. They had to install one of those crash bolts to get the caster up on one wheel. Now its all good.

No one ever mentions Cooper tires. I have Cooper CS4's on my car, and really love them. Good wet traction, silent and comfortable, and handle well. Do we ignore them because they are made in USA ?

MBWorld Fanatic!
I had one set of Coopers on my 2005 E500. They got very noisy in last 30% of tread and had bad tread life compared to Michelin and Bridgestone. The actual cost per mile was higher than Michelin tires that I had in the past.

There is a decent chance that this is a good deal. That said, if it's close and maybe the dealer is a few bucks more, throw the dealer a bone and give them the buy. It never hurts to be in good with your dealer. Every now and tben, you need help and tbe only one who can help you is your dealer. My dealer has sprung for some expensive, out of warranty repairs. When was the last time your tire store did that? We should all try and build goodwill with our dealers.
