I'm on DSW06+ as well on two of the Mazdas, and they've been impressive so far in terms of being reliable in poor weather. I can't say they never lose grip, but it's been fairly predictable in my experience and easy enough to recover. I thought about them for the GTI as well, but I'm thinking that it's sole purpose in life is to be a fun car, it'll just get Falken 615s so that it can just do fun car things. How do you like the DWS with all that power? Or are you running a different tire for when it's time to party?
