Now, I have had two sets of these, in addition to quite a few of my friends running these tires, nary a problem.
My Volvo had a pretty new set of Conti DWS's and they worked well in mild snow and really nicely in the rain, even when they wore down into the "D."
I like Continental DWS on my R. They are a good set up for heavy rain and mild snow, and fairly cheap.
I have Continental 4000 700x25 tires. In 4000mi I got 2 flats and the tires look good for a few thousand miles more. Low rolling resistance, fast, great handling. I highly recommend Continental tires.
I have a pair of Continental Gator Hardshells. All I can say is that having them on my bike is like having a pair of Hulk's foreskin on my wheels. I ride in NYC so the streets can get pretty messy. Glass, twigs, metal shards, shrapnel, bullets, arrows, and the occasional mortar rounds are no biggie for these tires.
I dirve a 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX and when I moved to Colorado 2 years ago, I put on Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires. I love them! They are so much better than the OEM tires were. I've driven the car on mountain roads during heavy snow.
The Continental ExtremeContact DWS are fantastic tires, WAY better than any other AS I have run in the snow and the only AS tire that has allowed my to traverse my steep driveway in the snow, excellent in the wet and quite good in the dry while being pretty quiet.
I had Kenda Kountachs and they served me well, only really got pinch flats ever and that was 100% my fault.
Nothing wrong with Kendas. They get the job done.
Conti ExtremeContacts are noisy. I have them on my Mazda5. The tires are especially loud when they are cold and moving at low speed. They feel like good tires and seem to wear well, but the noise factor alone makes me want to not keep them for too long.
