Continental Extreme Contact DWS (Ultra High Performance All-Season) - Great

Hello fellow enthusiasts! These continentals are pretty damn good. We run these on our G8 GT and the Evo X. Just a quick thanks to Tire Rack for speedy delivery and Continental for a great tire. Feel free to post your favorite type of tire, a link to them, and or a pic of them on your car.

I'm 90% sure that these are going to replace my stock tires in the next month or so

I had the DW, was an awesome tire. Thinking of getting the DWS. Can't decide between the DWS or GoodYear F1 Asymmetric 2. I've read good and bad about the Asymmetric, hard to decide.

You guys should really look at the GoodYear F1 Asymmetric All Seasons. Supposedly are the best all seasons now. They just come out. I'm getting a set next week hopefully.

^--- I don't know. There isn't enough data about them in the snow yet.

Smike would be the one that could find out though

LOL too late for me... I ordered mines on Wednesday!
I hope you share/review once you get those...

general census though is that the conti's are great!
I've seen a lot of people using them especially for DD like me

my personal experience with them on dry roads = great. Wet road = good, but not great. No snow experience with these dws....yet. I'd def recommend these tires as an all season choice.

Yes and more handling response. The DWS has a softer feel (more delay in turn in response) than I really like. The EF1 Asy A/S was developed for German type vehicles where handling and traction are big focal points.

We have 8in here a few weeks ago and all reported that their Eagle F1 Asymmetric All Seasons did outstanding in the heavy snow.

Definitely will. I did have the Conti DW. Not DWS. I actually liked them but they did have a slightly softer sidewall than I liked. But they were good for DD for me.
