Ending up buying the continental DWS and I am loving it. Like Its so smooth and the road noise is much lower.
I'm a fan of Nokian WR G4's for year round use. We loved them during our MN winters and enjoyed that we could keep them on all year.
I had a LOT of luck with my Nokian hakka R9s this winter on the LX470, but it's a studded tire. the x-ice were quieter but that's possible due to studs. As of now, I would highly recommend Nokians.
The 4 seasons are a great training tyre. They roll well enough for mortals and are pretty durable.
I've rode 4 Seasons, Gatorskins, GP4000s, and prefer GP5000s over all of them for puncture resistance. Plus they have grip.
They seems good through the MN winter, including 2 trips to the North Shore of Superior. It snowed both times, and we never had any issue with traction.
Last Fall I asked for winter tire recommendations and ended up buying Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3s for my 2021 KonaEV Preferred - many thanks for the advice - I was **very** happy with them through the winter.
Best all-season tires I've found so far personally.
The continental terra speed tires are only a watt or two slower than the gravel king slicks.
As for tires, I'd absolutely recommend against getting Conti DW's. I got them to replace Michelin PSS' mainly because they were cheaper and I thought the drop off in performance wouldn't be as significant as the price difference but it is...Very significant. For a chill family car, DW's are great..for any kind of performance driving, they just aren't good enough. Traction is ok but the sidewalls are very soft and I could feel them rolling and giving away at the track.
