I've had both the DWS06 and now the AS4, I found the DWS06 a little quieter, felt like same performance in the dry, the AS4 is better in the rain (on my highways the DWS06 would hydroplane at 50mph) but slightly worse in the snow
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.
I run Conti ECS, they are a performance street tire. It's what BMW M cars come with.
I’m a Continental Michelin tire guy. I have the extreme contacts on my ZL1 camaro and they handle great for the buck.
These tires are way quieter, stiffer on turns and gives me slightly better range (was at 340kwh now at 300kwh)
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.
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.
I was torn between these two myself but went with the dw06 because of all the reviews saying that the pilot sports wear out fast. The dw06 is quiet and great in the rain so I think I made the right choice.
Advan AD07 - great dry grip, medyo madulas sa wet.
My gp4000's popped CONSTANTLY. Got a hole in the sidewalls in less than 500 miles.
