The DWS06 is the second best on the market, but it’s probably not worth 75% more than the best in the budget category (the kumho), especially on a mazda3
The dws06 is one of the best tires on the market.
I am now on a set of continental for the winter. (And they run better than the all season khumo, go figure), but I'll look for those hankook next spring!
And they fit great, just like hawkbyte and Firebyte said they would
I live in the northeast and have used the dws and the pilot sports over the years. It’s been rather mild here lately the last few years but I never had a problem with getting around in either of those tires.
I just got the Continental DWS06 plus on my M3P and I am surprised how good they are compared to the summer Pirellis that came on it. Very reasonably priced too.
I think Continental VikingContact 8 would be on par with R5s when it comes to function.
I was deciding between these same tires and I went with the dws06+ due to the fact I drive up to the mountains quite often. Have been more than impressed with their ability in every weather condition and will be getting a new set in the next couple of months.
Maybe I just got lucky. I used to always get Michelin's, but my CC came with Conti (Pro Contact I think), so went for them again, and then picked another Conti that is a little sportier (not DWS06, just PureContact LS), and they have been OK. Steering feel hasn't been as good as with Michelin, but I did not experience any problems.
Replaced mine at 19k. I live in Oregon and want good tread and channels on the rainy roads. Dealership offered to sell me the same tire. I laughed and got Continentals elsewhere. Much better.
