Wasn't sure if the main forum or sub forum got more traffic, regardless, the question applies to any Fit owners who have tried either tire :-)

the dws will be grippier... the yoko's will likely respond a bit better... and iirc, the contis are a touch lighter...

Proper tire size for factory rim for 2009 Fit Sport is 205/50 R16. Replaced factory tires 60K mil ago- when factory tires went to crap after 30K (92K on my Fit now) with Yokohama AVID ENVigor 205/50 R16. No problem with tires (just got 2nd set, after 60K miles on the first set) No problem with rubbing, no problem with mpg. I can get 35-38mpg (if i keep 60-65mph on the highway). Still have the old tires ( in case of flat), still good after 60.000 miles. I'am is sales. I drive 40-60K per year - I need good tires. Sun or snow happy with Yokohama. However, keep in mind that no one make perfect tire for Fit for winter. My advice would be : buy new ENVigor for summer and winter , but keep factory tires for big deep snow weeks (they are garbage, but they do have small edge in deep snow ). But... I never got stuck in snow in Michigan in the winter with my Yokohama.
