I felt the same way after I got the Verde Okys tires. Still feels A+. And, I liked my DWS tires. That's how good these Pirellis ride.

The key is having the 'plus' version of the Pirellis. The OEM tires suck. The OP's and my comments are for the Plus version.

I will eager $$ the negative comments are from those who did not have the Plus version.

Agree that brand does not matter. The distinction in this thread is that Pirelli vastly improved the scorpion verde with its Plus version. The regular scorpion verde is not a great tire, which is why Pirelli improved on it.

As for the Michelin Latitudes...great tire. Was on my list but very pricey.

Ben, you got the right tire for the T3. Most recommended by dealers and tires shops for this vehicle as all-season. I, too, was very close to getting the DWS 06. Others, here say they won't get this and won't get that...fine. The Plus version is the number one rated tire for our type of SUV on Tire Rack -- that rating, along with people here and my local tire shop convinced me to try them.

You were one of the main reasons why I got them. That and the longer life based on the UTOG rating.

Now we will see what the next best thing will be in 2-3 years from now, and I also will be waiting for my $60 rebate/gift card.

Sharing info is what makes this forum great! And, in 2-3 years I hope to be in the next-gen Touareg...if there is one here.

The DWS 06 was No. 2 at TireRack. I had two sets of the original DWS. Of course, no single tire can be the very best...I was just adding a little zing.
