[WYOSVX]

This doesn't directly address your problem, just weighing in on the DWS.

I just put the same tires on my '97 with like-new BBS wheels. I like them a lot. I took a 90 degree turn (corner of 3 farms) the other day at 35 mph and they barely made a sound.

I live in the sticks in Wyoming, drive on washboard roads too. I drove the other day in an all out downpour and they were nice. I tested them just a little.

I'm expecting icey, snowy roads soon and look forward to that test. I admit that I have not fully tested them yet and have little to compare them to because I've only had the SVX since July.

No vibrations here. Most of the reviews I read where good. Highest rated all-season. Just saying- no problems with my DWS yet.

I hope Continental or Tire Rack (where I got mine) takes care of them. Good luck.
