[s-cars] Ordering Tires From Amazon

[Mickey]

I run the Conti DWS on my 95 S6 here in Reno, NV (225/50). I get some snow
and ice, but not a lot. Every time I do, it reminds me why I bought the car
and those tires. I see everyone else having problems and I can take off,
stop, and turn quite well when it gets slick. I know one co-worker that has
a C5 S6 that runs them and he commutes from the Lake Tahoe area. (Snow
storms dump feet at a time up there) It won't be as good as dedicated
tires, but I don't worry when I am on the snow and ice. I have recommended
them to a number of my buddies here in town. All of my buddies have thanked
me. You will be pleased with them.
