Just in case anyone is debating driving on summer tires this winter with snow on the ground.... don't do it

Are your DWS06 noisy at high speeds?

for anyone debating whether or not go for the winter tires... do it. proper tool for the job. you wouldn't put on tap shoes to ice skate so why wear sneakers to run across ice and snow and all-season tires mean that "one size fits all" may be true but it also means it doesnt fit anyone particular person well... that saying it may be adequate for all season but definitely does not excel in any particular season.

No. On asphalt, they are dead quiet. On very worn concrete highways, you will get some noise. Here in in the Southeast US, it's all asphalt. In addition, I have 20in OEM wheels which means the sidewalls are short. This provides for great handling. Some mistake taller sidewalls for body roll in turns. Mine has minimal body roll with the sport suspension package and 20in wheels.
