I just bought these for an '18 Civic SI. I can no longer spin in 2nd gear, and it's amazing. I can feel all the torque, and cornering at high speeds makes me giggle like a little girl.
@@eecc17 bigger shoulder blocks will make more white noise than a touring tire, but nothing obnoxious. I don’t have any noise issues with them on my Jetta TDI.
Great tires. Have alway used these on my wrx. Tried a different brand (bridgestone potenza)and my grip was horrible on sharp turns. Switch back to these and it was night and day. Totally recommend these tires for AS tires.
After a great deal of research I have decided on Continental Extremecontact DWS 06 for my 550i, have gone through snow a couple of times with smiles from ear to ear! Wet handling is great, dry handling is not as agressive as my summer continental extremecontact. Overall, it is impressive and would recommend to anyone who demand more than an ordinary set of all weather tires.
Did okay on my front wheel drive car. When we left the building to find 6 inches of snow, everyone was like, "Well, it was nice knowing you." Drive wheels spun a bit, but never got stuck, and I didn't have as much trouble as the Jeep, which was all over the place.
Ran them on my 2017 Camaro SS, they worked quite well. Decent life, but as typical on a staggered set up, the fronts outlast the rears. Just got a set for my Porsche Cayman.
These are awesome. I ran these last winter through some substantial snow and ice on my Civic. These aren’t a dedicated snow tire, but given you don’t drive like a maniac, these tires will not leave you stranded anywhere. Summer traction is OK. That’s it. I’m not digging the soft sidewalls, but they’re pretty comfortable.
I’ve put these tires on my Ford Focus today. I love these tires and had them on everything from the Cobra, Mustang coupe, Mercedes AMG, ect... This tire is a must for safety in winter weather. If I own a vehicle that is not four wheel drive, I maximize my handling on the road with the DWS. I have never gotten stuck or slowed down through snow with these tires. On most days, these tires are phenomenal in rain and summer heat.
This Asymmetrical Pattern is Iconic, I love these tires they did a good job stealing AS3+ sales based on how close it performed vs price. Here's to better performance with the Plus version.
This tire is magic with my 2012 Mercedes C300 4 magic. I am in Upstate NY with deep snow being common. It has transformed my handling. Wet performance is excellent as is dry performance.
Living in FL I understand these may be a little of an over kill tire since it never snows in FL, however, these tires are amazing for my Focus ST. They keep traction when I get on it during dry conditions and has great handling during real bad rainy conditions. Not once have I ever felt unsafe while driving in the rain with these tires no matter how bad it’s raining and that is very important for me since FL has two seasons, dead (winter) and raining (summer) lol. The main reason for me choosing this particular DWS over the DW’s is for the longevity of the tire. DWS is rated for 50k and DW for 30k and for a $3 difference for an extra 20k miles, I’ll take it!
I only got about 35,000 out of the DWS 06 tires. I'm not sure how much it matters, but I do push the car hard in corners when traffic isn't bad. I did buy another set. The tires that came on the car were scary, and the Goodrich summer tires didn't make it to 30,000.
We have them on our Audi S4 and they are a pretty remarkable tire. When we first got them and had Summer michelin pilot sport Summer tires it was night and day
Got 245/45/20 on my 300.So far handling,and ride are excellent. But have a continuous road impact noise that is very noticeable. Not as bad with lower air pressure .Probably will try Michelin next.
i just put a set on my ‘17 Si and i’m very impressed with the wet handling. i haven’t had a chance to try them on snow yet. that being said, they are nearly impossible to balance. after 3 tries with the originals they were still so bad the shop ordered another pair to put on the front in an attempt to get rid of the bounce at certain speeds. the new set is better but still very noticeable. still on the fence if i’m going to keep them or try something else.
I bought a set late last year and had my local shop install them- cost me $147 to mount and balance on 20’s. They said they had a really hard time balancing them as well. They’re far from being balanced perfect but they’re close enough to where it doesn’t really bother me. A little bit of steering wheel wobble is what it translates to. Definitely the stickiest tire I could imagine. ‘14 mustang GT with minor mods and I can hardly get the wheels to spin in 1st while power braking. Pretty crazy. I’ve yet to even hear them scream going around corners. Miles ahead of the Mickey T Street Comp trash tires I had before.
Same. My front end feels like crap. I've balanced my tires about 7 times in the past 2 years and have even gotten a replacement set from tire rack. They feel defective. Very annoying.
My next set of tires. Subaru sends new WRXs to the northern climes with the Dunlop Summer tires, so I got a set of studded Nokians for the winter. What I ended up with is overkill for two seasons and garbage for the other two. Now that my Dunlops are worn, I need a good 3-season tire for performance, and still deal with the long transitional seasons of spring and fall here in NW PA. We've had snow as late as May, and as early as October, and other years have an 80-degree day in March! I have the dedicated snows for the worst of winter, these should be great for everything else.
These tires are fantastic. If you can only have 1 tire for all 4 seasons, this is the tire to get. Although it's no true winter tire a true summer tire, it truly gives the best of the 4 seasons. BUT remember, nankang gang no exceptions.
I've had 3 camaro SS's and I've purchased them for all 3. I would never drive a Camaro in deep snow but for dry, wet, and light snow these are excellent. Also they provide a much softer ride than the stock GY's.
Best a/s performance tire. No it will never beat a snow tire or a just performance tire, but if you're that anal you already know your tires and what to buy.
I've been shopping for tires for my wife she has a 2013 Kia Sorento I'm looking for all weather or all-season tires do you have any suggestions I've been looking at the BF Goodrich Advantage TA Sports what do you think we live in California
Great option you are looking at, I personally really like the Continental ExtremeContact all season tires, They are on the more pricey end but I am willing to pay for it because the roads suck here in WI especially in the snow! 😅
I’m running the true contact touring on a Honda Odyssey lowered floor wheelchair converted van. Road noise is an issue due to the conversion and lack of insulation in the floor now. I am absolutely blown away by the truecontacts. I am a gearhead and I’ve had many vehicles and ran many different tires from off-road to high-performance and I’ve never been this impressed by a tire. Handling and feeling is firm like a performance tire yet they are pillow soft when it comes to bumps and vibration. There is literally next to no road noise. It’s like you’re driving on pillows when it comes to the sound. I am interested in the extreme contacts though. Wondering how much of a difference there is in ride between them and the true contact Touring tire?
I had these for about 35k miles. It was a good tire, but didn't last anywhere near 50k. Continental is kind of a pain to claim on the tire wear warranty. It's pretty quite, and it didn't really squeal or howl, and had low tire noise at highway speeds. Braking was pretty good, and so was wet traction. It's not exceptionally sticky, and the ride quality was decent. I switched to the Pure Contact which is a better all around tire, but doesn't have as high a speed rating.
Yeah these are great, I have them on an Acura tlx aspec FWD & they did well in the light snow I drove in today, but the real test is after this major snowstorm that will drop 18-24 inches of snow here in Jersey, so I'll find out what they're really made of.
@@killerkhalsa27 These tires are excellent, I no longer have that car I now have a 2021 Acura TLX type s which is awd & comes with pirelli p zeros which are all season & really good but I really like the Dws for comfort & performance, now I'm thinking about installing continental summer tires that's how much confidence I have in the brand.
@I'm Star lord legendary outlaw Plenty of people drive rear wheel drive cars in the snow and ice in the winter in North America including myself. You are very very incorrect sir! How did people manage in the 50's, 60's and 70's??
I'm Star lord legendary outlaw I am from the motor industry and I can tell you that a real wheel drive vehicle with snow tires on will handle very well and even better than an all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. Many people believe that just because they have an all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive vehicle, that they will not need winter tires or that they will not get stuck and that they have superior handling in the snow compared to a rear wheel drive or front wheel drive vehicle! Rear wheel drives are perfectly capable with winter tires on all four wheels!
I found a set in store for dirt cheap but idk if the 235 40s will stretch onto my 10 inch wide rims... the sidewall is girthy af and doesnt wanna stretch nearly as easily as the video shows... I like to think I'm pretty strong lol... so idk what the difference is
I just put Michelin crross climate plus on my 2014 lexus gs 350 awd based on great reviews. They are defininently very grippy in wet and dry, traction control hasn't come on at all even on hard breaking in wet. I just can't over the floatyness felling like I'm on balloons, even pressured up to 44psi, and road noise is very noticeable and has different sounds on different roads and wet. When coming to a hard stop they have a growl sound. I'm sure the winter traction is very good as they have the winter mountain emblem on them raiting them as winter tires. Very disappointed as I was looking for a good all season tire with very good winter traction and that's what they are marketed as. I'm comtemplating returning them for these continental dsw06s . These seem to have pretty good reviews also. My car is a sports sedan, but more of just a sedan even though its a gs in terms of sport suspension. I was hoping these would meet some ware in the middle of the two tires? Any thoughts?
I have the orig Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires (245/45/ZR20) on my 2018 Challenger Scat Pack. Coming up on 15, 000 miles and guessing by spring I'm going to need new tires. They handle great in summer, but not much else. I'm thinking of moving to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ or Bridgestone G-Force Comp2 A/S tire. I had read about these and I think my dealer may have mentioned these. Out of the these three options, would you still go with Continental? I'm living in suburb of Chicago, so we get snow. On heavy snow days I park the Challie and take our spare CRV to work.

I can recommend the Michelins. Very good dry and wet traction and handling. I hear the Bridgestones are loud.
These have been a great tire on my 2016 MX-5 (16", stock wheel, Sport trim so no LSD). Haven't had in summer yet but they've been a fantastic tire in extreme cold and multiple snow storms (for an all season, you're still far safer in Blizzaks).
@@christhaelectrician9578 I think I was forced to buy the sport to get the least amount of electronic nannies and didn't want the touch screen. So thus no LSD offered by factory unfortunately.
Just put these on a VW Touareg for the Rockies snow weather. Much quieter than the goodyear eagle GT II that come on the Touaregs. They have a much softer cushier ride and grip really well. Not sure how long the tread will last, we'll see. I went with the 275 - 45 -20. I wanted a 285 -45/50 - 20 configuration but Conti does not do a 285 in those sizes.
My factory tire size is the same as in the video. 245/45R 20. If I wanted a taller side wall to fill in some of the fender well, any suggestions on a good side to go with? Thanks so much!
You can go about that in two ways. You could keep the 45 aspect ratio and go up[ in width to a 255, which would result in a taller tire. OR you could keep the 245 width, and go up to a 50 or 55 aspect ratio to get a taller tire as well.
Debating between these or the Goodyear Eagle sport a/s for a Range Rover sport sc. I have the eagles on my a4. The eagles are great, got about 45k miles on them so far and feel like I can get another 30 honestly. Good in snow, although I’m sure awd from the Quattro helps a lot. Sams club has both but the Goodyear have $80 off which essentially refunds install. Also, Goodyear is official tire partner of Range Rover so there’s that. Do I try these out or stick with official partner/old reliable 🤔
I have these tires on my BMW X5 and I love them. However, they don’t have the DWS 06 in 245/50/20 for my minivan. What would you recommend for 2018 Chrysler Pacifica that is as good as the DWS 06? Thank you.
What's up, i am new around here, and i have a 2015 charger R/T and planning to keep 254 45 20 on the front and 255 45 20 in the back and with a 20 × 9 hellcat rims, know just wondering if this tires will be perfect for my car? Thanks.
Your tire pressure is also a huge factor when it comes to ride comfort. I don't know why they do this, but every tire shop fills new tires to 40 psi or higher. That makes your tires hard like a rock and subsequently makes for a stiffer ride. The factory specs on my Kia Cadenza says the cold pressure on my tires should be 32 psi. So you may want to check your tire pressure as well.
Depends on what kind of fitment/stance you are looking for! Take a look at our gallery to see what kind of look you are going for it works best for these types of situations! bit.ly/2XRN1Dr
Fitment Industries looking too keep the suspension stock. Trying to keep it classy . Not a racing look or anything. Just wanted tires that don’t look so wimpy. Looks like I’m on 4 spare tires. Definitely something wider that won’t interfere with the wheel wells. A summer tire , with awesome handling.
I'm not one for stretching tires, but it depends on your application. The soft sidewalls help cushion your ride if your going with a stock or near stock fitment. Conversely, if you're going with a low profile tire, then I would *not* get this tire and stretch it at the same time. That's my .02
@@TommyBlazeHD it's a stretch yes, but my new setup at 235/35r19 on a 9.5 wide is actually on the acceptable fit on continentals website... So I don't think it's anything extreme, definitely noted though
@@TommyBlazeHD yep I've got them mounted up and I'll be adding to the fitmentinc gallery this weekend. The Conti DWS06 is a round tire anyway but it's definitely a noticeable but subtle stretch!
That's the same car I'm looking at! 1. How much do you like the Srt and what are the best and worst things about the car {I need to know} and 2. I'm thinking about getting Extreme Contact DWSO6 tires for it. Do you think these are the best option or would you go with a Michelin set instead? if so which set of tires?
Hello i would like to know what brand of allseason tire so you recommend for a 2018 Subaru wrx base and stock suspension running 18x9.5 +38? Im looking for a ticker or meety tire, currently running 245/40r18
I'm running that rim size with 255 40r18. It's definitely a bit meaty. I'm also on stock suspension. There is still a gap. Gonna go with lowering springs. It might rub at the back. Might have to roll the fender.
I've heard that the General G-MAX AS-05 ultra high performance, all season tire is just as good, if not better than this tire, and much cheaper. And that General is a division of Continental.
There's no directional indicators on the tires, but they are meant to only roll one direction. How can you tell what's the correct rotational direction?
It's actually not a directional tire. It's an asymetrical tire. It has an inside and an outside which are marked on the sidewall as you can see at 2:14
they work well enough to daily on my 760whp 335i. still spins when i want it to but has enough grip to take corners confidently. i find that proxy r888r’s are better for the summer but this is a 10/10 for all season
Have them on a Prius C with the 16” rims, the installer said he has never seen them on a Prius. Well I want my teenagers to have a tire that’s going to be able to handle evasive maneuvers and safety even though I could only get them a Prius C. Definitely grippier than an eco tire.
Got these because Michelin can’t get their shit together and ship tires from production. 1-2 months on some michelin tires. Its a joke. I am done with them
I just bought these for an '18 Civic SI. I can no longer spin in 2nd gear, and it's amazing. I can feel all the torque, and cornering at high speeds makes me giggle like a little girl.
how is the comfort? i'm sitting on 22s
Ya put these on dart (don’t laugh) it’s 205hp😂and couldn’t spin em anymore
im interested to know your review on road noise. im currently on ps4s on a 19 civic si and the noise is there (not that im complaining )
I can’t wait
@@eecc17 bigger shoulder blocks will make more white noise than a touring tire, but nothing obnoxious. I don’t have any noise issues with them on my Jetta TDI.

How does the sidewall stiffness compare to the michelin PS 4S?
I just got the dws06+
Great tire
These have been a great tire on my 2016 MX-5 (16", stock wheel, Sport trim so no LSD). Haven't had in summer yet but they've been a fantastic tire in extreme cold and multiple snow storms (for an all season, you're still far safer in Blizzaks).
No lsd ? Why not? It’s great !!
@@christhaelectrician9578 I think I was forced to buy the sport to get the least amount of electronic nannies and didn't want the touch screen. So thus no LSD offered by factory unfortunately.
@@thraxman that makes sense
I have a set of these tires they are awesome🙏🏼👍🏽
Made in Germany
Just put these on a VW Touareg for the Rockies snow weather. Much quieter than the goodyear eagle GT II that come on the Touaregs. They have a much softer cushier ride and grip really well. Not sure how long the tread will last, we'll see. I went with the 275 - 45 -20. I wanted a 285 -45/50 - 20 configuration but Conti does not do a 285 in those sizes.
Anybody have any input on hydroplaning??? How is it in the rain ?
My factory tire size is the same as in the video. 245/45R 20. If I wanted a taller side wall to fill in some of the fender well, any suggestions on a good side to go with? Thanks so much!
You can go about that in two ways. You could keep the 45 aspect ratio and go up[ in width to a 255, which would result in a taller tire. OR you could keep the 245 width, and go up to a 50 or 55 aspect ratio to get a taller tire as well.
@@FitmentIndustries thanks a heap for the super quick reply. Awesome. 😁👍🏻
I just bought these in 225/40/19. I thought the speed rating was Y though (186 mph), no?
Debating between these or the Goodyear Eagle sport a/s for a Range Rover sport sc. I have the eagles on my a4. The eagles are great, got about 45k miles on them so far and feel like I can get another 30 honestly. Good in snow, although I’m sure awd from the Quattro helps a lot. Sams club has both but the Goodyear have $80 off which essentially refunds install. Also, Goodyear is official tire partner of Range Rover so there’s that. Do I try these out or stick with official partner/old reliable 🤔
thanks for sharing the info on this tire!
I have these tires on my BMW X5 and I love them. However, they don’t have the DWS 06 in 245/50/20 for my minivan. What would you recommend for 2018 Chrysler Pacifica that is as good as the DWS 06? Thank you.
What's up, i am new around here, and i have a 2015 charger R/T and planning to keep 254 45 20 on the front and 255 45 20 in the back and with a 20 × 9 hellcat rims, know just wondering if this tires will be perfect for my car?
Thanks.
How well do they stand for comfort and quietness?? Anybody knows??
Your tire pressure is also a huge factor when it comes to ride comfort. I don't know why they do this, but every tire shop fills new tires to 40 psi or higher. That makes your tires hard like a rock and subsequently makes for a stiffer ride. The factory specs on my Kia Cadenza says the cold pressure on my tires should be 32 psi. So you may want to check your tire pressure as well.
Just looking at these for my buddy's m3 this video is good!
Great tire...only lasted about 10k miles for me.
I only use Continental on my bikes! Total trust their quality.
I have a 190e 1993 w rims that measure (15” -6 )what’s the tire size I should go with? Stock tires are 185-65-15 pretty skinny . Thoughts???
Depends on what kind of fitment/stance you are looking for! Take a look at our gallery to see what kind of look you are going for it works best for these types of situations! bit.ly/2XRN1Dr
Fitment Industries looking too keep the suspension stock. Trying to keep it classy . Not a racing look or anything. Just wanted tires that don’t look so wimpy. Looks like I’m on 4 spare tires. Definitely something wider that won’t interfere with the wheel wells. A summer tire , with awesome handling.
So many people have said the sidewalls are soft, does this make a bad tire for stretching or better for it?
I'm not one for stretching tires, but it depends on your application. The soft sidewalls help cushion your ride if your going with a stock or near stock fitment. Conversely, if you're going with a low profile tire, then I would *not* get this tire and stretch it at the same time. That's my .02
@@TommyBlazeHD it's a stretch yes, but my new setup at 235/35r19 on a 9.5 wide is actually on the acceptable fit on continentals website... So I don't think it's anything extreme, definitely noted though
tony45x220 Oh that’s very do able then. That doesn’t sound very extreme. A mild stretch can look nice. I’ve seen them executed well for car shows.
@@TommyBlazeHD yep I've got them mounted up and I'll be adding to the fitmentinc gallery this weekend. The Conti DWS06 is a round tire anyway but it's definitely a noticeable but subtle stretch!
trying to decide between these and the Pirelli Cinturato p7 all season plus
Pirelli is garbage, go with these or the Michelins...
great review thank you
Are these made in USA?
Made in Germany - Great Tire!
Made in france or depending where you are located in the US
About try these 335/25/ 20 on my c7 hope they serve me 25k at least!!
What do you think of these for an old Prowler? It has massive backs: 295s (+225s)
They'd be a great choice!
@@FitmentIndustries Glad to hear that. Thanks.
Is this all season or all weather tire?
My name is Steve Rogers you're an idiot
Just got these for my 2016 SRT 392 big difference from the Pirelli p zero handle is better and the grip is definitely worth the price tag
im putting these on my 18 scatpack worth it?
That's the same car I'm looking at! 1. How much do you like the Srt and what are the best and worst things about the car {I need to know} and 2. I'm thinking about getting Extreme Contact DWSO6 tires for it. Do you think these are the best option or would you go with a Michelin set instead? if so which set of tires?
Very little rim protection vs Michelin...expect wheel damage against curbs
I would say that depends on the size of your tire and rim set up.
Exactly!
Stay away from curbs.
Don't rub curbs then?
Only have curb damage if hammer into a curb
Hello i would like to know what brand of allseason tire so you recommend for a 2018 Subaru wrx base and stock suspension running 18x9.5 +38? Im looking for a ticker or meety tire, currently running 245/40r18
If you email them on the website then you’ll get a response.
I'm running that rim size with 255 40r18. It's definitely a bit meaty. I'm also on stock suspension. There is still a gap. Gonna go with lowering springs. It might rub at the back. Might have to roll the fender.
I've heard that the General G-MAX AS-05 ultra high performance, all season tire is just as good, if not better than this tire, and much cheaper. And that General is a division of Continental.
There's no directional indicators on the tires, but they are meant to only roll one direction. How can you tell what's the correct rotational direction?
It's actually not a directional tire. It's an asymetrical tire. It has an inside and an outside which are marked on the sidewall as you can see at 2:14
3rdGen CamaroGuy thanks. I checked with Conti and they told me the same. Got them mounted today and WOW what a difference over run-flats
Rixter no problem. I've been looking into getting a set for my car. I plan on getting them sometime in the next week. They sound great👍
Hopefully these are going to work well on my 800hp M5 lol
they work well enough to daily on my 760whp 335i. still spins when i want it to but has enough grip to take corners confidently. i find that proxy r888r’s are better for the summer but this is a 10/10 for all season
Michelin pilots are the best way
sidewalls soft bust ...roadside on speed dial
Excellent excellent Tyre for sure
ive been using these and they wear nicely, handle good, grip well in dry or wet. $1100 for a set though...
Worth it tho?
Over 1k?! What size? I paid 452 for a set for my brz.
yeah, considering they are rated for 40k miles. i might go back to michelins a/s 3+ when it come to new ones though.
275/35/20
Bruise Knee what size rim. I just picked these up and my rim are 10.5. I wondering how they have held up
Have them on a Prius C with the 16” rims, the installer said he has never seen them on a Prius. Well I want my teenagers to have a tire that’s going to be able to handle evasive maneuvers and safety even though I could only get them a Prius C. Definitely grippier than an eco tire.
GREAT fcking tire. Expensive $195 each but you get your moneys worth.
I found them on tirerack for $116 each when I bought them a couple weeks ago
@@Cjharps2442 what?! Deg.
Great back east tires, but not worth a shit in California !
Depends entirely on what part of California you live in.
Got these because Michelin can’t get their shit together and ship tires from production. 1-2 months on some michelin tires. Its a joke. I am done with them
MOUNT THEM, TEST THEM... REPORT ON THEM.
Thumbs DOWN.
Best tires I bought
