Lol it’s not that bad. But I’m not going to argue over which tire is better blah blah. In terms of performance the Michelin A/S 3+ can’t be beat in the A/S segment, but the noise is pretty harsh and you have to take into account the price point and the inner tire wear that our cars have. I’m just all about the best grip I can get and the best quality which is Michelin. I was debating the Continental’s though since they seem to be pretty good for our cars from what people on the forums are saying. I wouldn’t say the DW’s are superior though, a better overall package for our cars, yes, but not a superior tire in terms of performance. When warm weather comes around, I’ll probably get the Firehawk Indy’s.

If you’re saying they don’t last are you saying that because of the front tires going bad due to inner tire wear? Or the rear tires going before the fronts due to the staggered fitment? I’m curious about your experience because with my G37S I’ve had them on there a good 20k miles and the tread is still fine along with performance. I do agree that the Conti are a better deal if you’re willing to sacrifice performance.
