potenza s-04 vs. continental dw
for a 335iX m-sport (miniscule sidewalls). Spirited daily use on a variety of roads, no track.
Conti DW: + smoothest ride reported + high ultimate grip + light (21 & 23lbs)!!! - reported vague feeling (and I believe it from previous conti experience) S-04: + second to michelin PSS in pretty much every test + reported decent ride and grip + outperforms DW in pretty much every test while still reportedly comfy - heavy!! (25 & 27lbs, same weight as crap-ola RE050A RFT's) - it's a bridgestone. squarish profile + bmw front suspension =? tramlining Currently leaning towards the potenza s04, simply to not lose steering feel though their weight bothers me. I've done a bunch of searches and read some comments, but the s-04 is relatively new so updates are welcome. |

I'm using S-04 235/35/19s for my E46. They are heavy but no tramlining. I love them!!!
A friend of mine had Conti DW... Light, yes but not strong. On 2 separate occassions, the tire bubbled up on the side after hitting a pothole.

S-04s are great tires. I would go that route if you could!
