Wonder how the Conti DWS would have performed. Have them on all my cars...

My previous 06 Acura RL with SH-AWD had a good set of all-season tires and they performed really well in a couple of snow storms that we had in Seattle.

I can't wait for the snow here with the A7.

I like the wheels on your RL. I had a TL which had the BEST voice control system of any car I've had since. Too bad the design of today's TL is just plain ugly!

I'm sure winter tires are better than anything else in the snow & had them when I lived in Boston but all seasons do just fine (for me) in the mid-Atlantic & we've had some major snow storms the past few years. I've never had summer tires & wonder how they do (vs. all season) in the rain?

Yes, Acura's designs are a little disappointing these days. I hope the new NSX will be handsome.

I wonder if anyone with the Continental Extremes has experienced the snow lately?
