Not knowing where you are (that info might be useful to add to your profile) - can't say if there is a MAVIS/STS store in your area, but they're beating everyones price on them if you consider the shipping costs. Around $312 at the store, mounted/balanced for that size.

See: https://rennlist.com/forums/porsche-...-dws-06-a.html - more info there.

My GTS had the Accelera Iota 295/3521 tires when I purchased it. I was thinking about getting winter wheels and tires until I tried them in the big snow storm we had here. They worked very very well despite everyone saying you can't use 21" rims in the snow. The tires now have approximately 32k miles on them and are starting to get into the wear bar. So I just ordered another set from Cali for $650 shipped. If this were a track car I would get some pirelli's summer tires but since it is only a DD and for longer highway trips I am very happy with performance in wet/snow/ and dry, especially with the mileage I got out of the current set. I had some michelin's on my Denali that lasted 80k miles and were awesome in the snow but were also close to $1,600 per set.

Thanks! Anyone have experience with the accelera tires or have had enough miles on the new dws. I'm most interested in handling when dry vs the latitudes and cross cuts, and snow perforce is an added benefit.

I like my dws before on my s6 but did not appreciate the soft sidewall. Are the accelera s any stiffer? My gf has been complaint the cross contacts are riding stuff but to me it's a German car riding on 21s...

How do they compare to other tires you have had. Summer cornering? Snow performance?

I only had Pirellis P Zero Rossos before these. I actually prefer the continentals for sure, smoother more comfortable ride by far. The grip is identical. I have 09 gts with manual transmission so they get plenty of spirited action nearly every day. I did not get the chance to hit the slopes last winter so I cannot elaborate on the snow performance , but I like the idea of having as all-season tire vs. just summer tires.
These tires are supposed to last twice as many miles than the Pirellis. I believe that as the Pirrelis wear out stupidly fast.

Thanks for that! I've had two sets of the cross contacts and one set of Michelin Latitudes, I liked the Michelin stiffness and grip, but like the conti ride. Perhaps the DWS will make me happy.

For the money I may try out the Brand mentioned above. Not sure how they compare back to back

Part of me might just add another set of wheels and tires for the winter/mud. Something about 18-19 riding through a foot off snow and hitting the muddy trails sounds appealing.

I think I'm going to do the same. I have never wanted to take up the extra space to store a set of extra rims and tires, but now running 21"s I would almost be running the cheap stock rims and winter tires for free given the cost savings not running the 21" rubber year around and have a better safer ride for it in the winter.

Have you ended up going with these?

an anyone else comment on longer use? Seems like it's stupid not to try the accelera at this Price? What do you all think?
