[s-cars] Tire load rating and summer tire options

[Lee Levitt]

DWS is supposed to be a high mileage tire, with a tread rating of 560 , IIRC.

I have them on my ' 99 A6 avant and my wife's ' 05 A6 sedan.

I run them as 3 season tires, in a 245 width. Personally, I think they suck in snow, but that may be partially due to width.

I would probably buy them again, unless I got 30k out of them!

Best,

Lee
