That's what I though.mfox, I chose DWS06 as my summer tires. I don't put winters on until late fall and take them off early spring. These tires are light, somewhat inexpensive and have a pretty good mileage rating and do very well in wet weather. They are quieter than the original tires and ride better too. Traction seems to be about the same as the originals. I am very pleased.
