[QUOTE="Zandura99, post: 14866441, member: 159927"] I love the DW, and 20K might be a tall order on your rears but with ginger throttle application its possible. It is one of my favorite wet tires, on par with the MI PSS in the wet (I actually liked it a bit more)and only a tic behind in dry cornering and traction. For the price difference, I thought it was well worth the slight drop.

Here are the most recent tests for both.
