Had them on since December, was looking forward to trying them out and they didn't disappoint.

Had great fun going to get gas today.

The WRX on Conti DWS tires was fun if a little predictable. Still fun to get out and hoon a bit, but didn't want to get cocky.

I did a handbrake turn in my church's parking lot this morning

I was disappointed that it appears I can't disable ESC on the Focus...

Sure you can. Use the old rallyx trick of pulling the ABS fuse. (works for subies, modern technoford might not like that.)

Two sets of DWS 06s went on twelve hours before it got slippery. These things are amazing.

I put a set of the DWS 06 on my Forester XT about a week ago. I know they're not true snow tires, but they performed outstandingly well on the packed sleet type road surfaces that this storm laid down. A snow packed hilly road near a friends house was forcing most cars to turn around and go another way, but I was able to chug right up the slope with no difficulty.

I may have gotten stuck behind some slow pokes on all-season tires going slower than molasses on the way back from the grocery store in our sub-division and I may also have allegedly done donuts in the road behind them while I waited...

The missus was quite amused. :lol:

That's probably what the Focus will get once these Contis are worn out. The DWS has a really good snow rating.
