Best tires for summer in the $150-$200 range
*DWS stands for Dry, Wet & Snow and indicates that the tire has sufficient tread depth for dry conditions, as well as wet roads and light snow. After the "S" has worn away, the remaining "DW" indicates the tire only has sufficient tread depth for dry and most wet road conditions. After the "W" and "S" have both worn away, the remaining "D" indicates the tire has appropriate tread depth for dry conditions only. (From Tire Rack)
