I have ran my DWS for almost 20k miles. First winter they were great. Mostly light snow 3" or less but my car won't clear much more that that anyways 😂
I will update how this next winter goes.. the wear indicators still look good with the S still visible.
D- DRY
W- Wet
S- Snow
This acronym is...
Oops.
Still go with the Continentals DWS06+
Great all around tire and if you drive moderately they could last 40k .. I will let someone else on here guide you on sizes
Funny thing... I'm seeing this now going through a touchless car wash. I found a piece of rubber door seal that was tucked behind the trim when I installed the illuminated doorsill. Water puddled on the driver's side and tuxmat collected it.
There was a discussion online about the potential change in gripping forces with the larger rear caliper. To help balance this it was recommended to go with Z s in front and Ms in rear to help balance this change. I don't track so it's probably overkill but I love the look and the Zs in front do...
Im assuming you did this with the battery unplugged.. sensitive parts including the air bag.
Its also crucial the steering wheel was straight before removing and you reinstalled the clockspring in the same orientation.
All you can try is disassemble and check connections.
