My friend from Montreal ran 18” Continental DWS06 staggered on his E46 330i 6MT while living here in Vancouver for two years. He said he didn’t have one problem. He went skiing to Whistler, Mount Baker, and the interior without any issues. He might be a special case just knowing how to handle a RWD in eastern winters for six months out of the year and not make it a big deal. Now that he moved back with the car, he’s forced to run separate tires so he’s on Hakkapeliitta 8s now.
While on the opposite scale, a friend here has Michelin AS3+ day on his 1 series and ended up abandoning his car on a downhill while trying to escape a freak snow storm because he felt the tires weren’t biting into the snow/slush and he didn’t want to fully slide down the hill.
The tread pattern on DWS06 seem far better with more siping for snow to stick into compared to AS3+. The AS3+ is a better A/S tire for dry and wet winter temps if you want handling and if you only drive your car in those conditions for winter.
