This is relevant to my interests, as my SC needs new tires, and the DW is one of the few performance tires in the odd size I use.

I'm currently running Goodyear F1 GS-D3s--anyone have experience with both tires?

Ya that sure doesn't happen often, so they must be good!

Tire rack and GRM haven't tested out Goodyear Eagle F1 summer tires compared to other ones, so that's not a good sign for the F1's.

I run the Goodyears on my Focus and DWS's on my Transit Connect. Not really a direct comparison but for a DD I would go with the DW's. The Goodyears are definitely stickier but the Continentals even if they are the S's are not bad and they are definitely giving me better tire wear.

We have the DWS's on SWMBO's 350z. They are comfortable and capable on the street, and the best tires I've used in wet weather.

Only been on the NC Miata about 24 hours...........but WOW. Ride is good, no extra noise over the crummy "performance" all-seasons that were on the car when I purchased it.

Loads of grip even not completely scrubbed in yet. Turn-in is very responsive.

These are some seriously impressive tires. I suspect I will like them more once the car is off the stock suspension and has a more aggressive alignment.

I bought a set in 2011 for my '07 Legacy GT spec.B. I pulled them off the rims this spring to replace them after about 40,000 miles and an autocross event with a co-driver on the Pontiac Silverdome's excuse for asphalt. Even wear and about 4-5/32" left when removed as I rotated them regularly. I plan on selling the car so they're being replaced with some good, used Dunlop AS tires.

I liked them but didn't love them. As they wore they got louder and they suffered from tramlining on MI roads.
