Car is driven both freeway and in town no snow tires in the winter. Thanks
As far as I know the Goodyear Comfortred and Continental DWS06 tires are more on the premium side. The other two are mid-tier choices. Certainly different price points. There are some rebates available a few of which expire this month. I would check with Web sites of each manufacturer.
From what I read, Comfortreds should be for more of a comfortable ride, long life of tread type of purchase. DWS06 is a UHP tire with excellent handling/performance ratings. Probably won't last as many miles as Comfortred. RT43 and CS5 are very popular among our fellow forum members. I have a set of CS5 Ultras and they are a pretty good tire overall for in-town and highway driving at normal speeds. I haven't had any issues in rain and light snow but then I've got less than 11K miles on my set.
