Showtime: are your 17 kdws on the orig rim? and if so any rubbing issues?
I would not consider these a suitable winter tire

I'm on Arctic Alpines on 15" rim for snow driving. A Z rated tire is definately 'summer' Straight line driving ok but scary on tires--went through snow and slush two Aprils in a row in sudden snow.
Anyone else using KDWS model vs KDW?
Looking like I'll be sticking with this brand
