Well that’s concerning. Just had my dealer order a set lol.So my DWS 06 has a bad vibration at higher speeds... Guess I'll be calling the dealer. Not sure if they could fix this or not
Never noticed it with the PS4SIs it the tires or the car?
Did you get a super deal with the dealer?...they usually over charge for every thing I would never think to purchase tires from...jmhoWell that’s concerning. Just had my dealer order a set lol.
Did it suddenly develop/develop over time or you just never had it in a situation to notice the vibration (e.g., never had it over 60 and that's where you notice it?)Never noticed it with the PS4S
I generally don't trust random tire stores to touch my cars, so have had the dealers swap out my tires the last several years. The dealer I used actually just used tirerack, and that's the cost they passed along to me. I think most dealers would rather take the labor costs than try to fleece you on parts for tires but nothing surprises me with some dealers.Did you get a super deal with the dealer?...they usually over charge for every thing I would never think to purchase tires from...jmho
TS definitely strange. Seemed to ride better today. Did a 3rd and 4th gear pull for my tune. So hit 110 and not as bad as yesterday. Hopefully I can do another on ramp pull this evening and see how things are.Did it suddenly develop/develop over time or you just never had it in a situation to notice the vibration (e.g., never had it over 60 and that's where you notice it?)
Tough to think it's anything related to the tires themselves. Continental is a top tier brand, the DWS06 is a performance all season and lots of us have had them on our cars with no issues. Expectations should be set at a faulty balance but curious to see how things turn out.

Didn't someone else try to run DWS 06's and run into a vibration issue pretty early on? I don't think you're the first.ITS definitely strange. Seemed to ride better today.

Yeah. Slim Pickens with our tire size. Hopefully Michelin will expand their PS A/S 4 product line.Didn't someone else try to run DWS 06's and run into a vibration issue pretty early on? I don't think you're the first.
I'm as much a fan of Michelin as anyone, but let's get some definitive evidence that DWS06 are defective before stuffing them in a locker, right?Yeah. Slim Pickens with our tire size. Hopefully Michelin will expand their PS A/S 4 product line.
Yeah I only take my wheels and tires in never the car..I have a couple local spots that road force balance ..its work so far...Also a tirerack distro center about 20 miles from the house.. so I save a couple $$ with pickup..I generally don't trust random tire stores to touch my cars, so have had the dealers swap out my tires the last several years.

There's a lot of mindshare on this topic, and without a scientific study you're going to run into lots of opinions. That said since you asked, I'm of the mind that the concept of damaging tires when it's cold out is based more on the side of "you can strip off your enamel by brushing your teeth too much"... sure, it's possible but you'd have to be pretty extreme to get to a point where it mattered.So I'm finding the Internet generally says to stop running summer tires when the air temperature drops below 45, and that's what's expected here in Ohio starting Tuesday, but it's Ohio and we could be back into the 60's by the end of next week... or ankle deep in snow.... or it could flood... it's Ohio.
Part of this is laziness, and part of this is concern that I'm going to ruin winter tires by running them too early, but I suppose I could ruin summer tires by running them too cold...
What am I supposed to do?
