OP, please post some pics when installed. I would be interested to know how well they sit in relation to the width of the rim (stretched/fat tire look).
Thanks.

DWS06s are fantastic tires. Summer-oriented all-season, good for everything from early spring to just about the first dusting in the late fall around here. I'll absolutely be putting these on my .2 when the current summers die.

I think they look fine. What does everyone else think? Haven’t pushed them hard yet as brand new, but they are quiet, smooth and seem to have plenty of grip.

PS. Here is my new to me 2013 991.1S cab, 7 speed. It is a lot more car than the 2006 997 cab s it replaced. Very pleased so far.

Ride quality so far seems very good. At least as good as the Michelin PSS on the 997 I sold to get this one.

Thanks for the pics. Can I ask similar closeup of rear? I want to see if there is much of a stretched look to them.
tha ks a bunch.
Car looks nice. White was my first choice but ended up with black due to all the desired options.
silver is the slowest color so wasnt interested in that

And, yes, Silver is the slowest color, the police ignore me as long as I’m doing less than 125....

I had these tires on my old 987 Cayman S and they were much better than the old P zeros they replaced... but I ended up only using that car in the summer so i swapped them for the Michelin PS4S and was a lot happier with those.

Wait, people actually care about how the tread looks?

Function over form, people.

Spend time on a Jeep Wrangler Forum.

Aggressive this....

Aggressive that....

Not aggressive enough...

Too aggressive....


Thank goodness that the Yokohama tires I put on my Jeep are appropriately aggressive, but not too much that people think I am an aggressive person.

Thanks OP for the pictures. I likely will go with these when it comes time for new tires.
