Tough to take a picture of the tread because of the pattern, but hopefully this will give you an idea of the tread depth. They are like new. $450 shipped OBO.

just burn off the first few layers, they become DWs once the S wears off

The ExtremeContact DWS features Tuned Performance Indicators — visible letters molded into the second rib from the outboard shoulder to alert drivers of the tire's performance levels. A visible "DWS" indicates the tire has sufficient tread depth for dry conditions, as well as wet roads and light snow. After the "S" has worn away, the remaining "DW" indicates the tire only has sufficient tread depth for dry and most wet road conditions. And after the "W" and "S" have both worn away, the remaining "D" indicates the tire has appropriate tread depth for dry conditions only.

I know.. I was responding to Toadsters comment, saying the DWS becomes a DW once they are worn a bit.

yes, different tread pattern - but the tire changes 'grip-ability' in the snow-rain-dry over time...
