the DWS06+ are only good in the snow for the first half of their life, after that the snow performance falls of a cliff.
Pros: good in snow initially
Cons: snow performance degrades

Share on social networks:
got 78,000 on oem Continentals. Tire vendor thought I could still push for another 10,000 miles… In South Florida on mostly smooth roads.
Pros: high mileage
Mileage: 78000 km
Replaced mine at 19k. I live in Oregon and want good tread and channels on the rainy roads. Dealership offered to sell me the same tire. I laughed and got Continentals elsewhere. Much better.
Pros: much better
Cons: horrible tires
Mileage: 19000 km
Mine looked the same and were also overinflated at delivery. One of my tires didn't last 1000 miles, it developed a tear on the side.
Cons: tire developed a tear
Mileage: 1609 km
I am still not impressed with these tires. I'm just about to hit 14k miles on these tires and they are some of the worst tires I've had. Definitely going to replace them before winter. We average 6-8 inches of snow every winter and these tires are like race slicks in the snow.
Cons: worst tires, like slicks
Mileage: 22530 km
I run Conti ECS, they are a performance street tire. It's what BMW M cars come with.
Pros: performance street tire
Vehicle:
BMW
I’m a Continental Michelin tire guy. I have the extreme contacts on my ZL1 camaro and they handle great for the buck.
Pros: handle great
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
These tires are way quieter, stiffer on turns and gives me slightly better range (was at 340kwh now at 300kwh)
Pros: quieter, stiffer on turns
Wear and tear on the track is tires and brake pads. My OEM Conti tires lasted 3 track days and 4650 miles, instead of the 10k miles they are rated for. Learn how to inspect your pads visually so you can see how much material is left.
Pros: inspect pads visually
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 4650 km
I just did exactly what you're doing -- exact same tires -- and found the Continental every bit as good as the Michelin, so I went with Continental, only in 255s in my case. Anyway, I'm really happy with my Continentals and glad I made that choice. Considering the stiffer ride that comes with wider tires the 18 Continentals proved a good choice. The handling is way better; love it.
Pros: handling is way better
Cons: stiffer ride
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
