I had my Conti DWS tires installed today. I’ve had them on two previous cars and they’re my pretty phenomenal across a broad range of conditions.
I ran the Continental Extreme DWS on my last M3 year round here in Colorado. They did really well in the summer mountain drives and served me just fine in the snow.
I have them on the MK5 GTI my son drives and will be swapping them onto my 2017 R. Love them for an all around tire.
The DWS' are awesome in the wet. But we had nearly no snow last winter so I can't tell you much about that, but I have high hopes.
Switched out my OEM Conti’s for the DWS 06’s last winter for ski season (So Cal). I have my OEM’s back on for now but once they are worn out I will put the DWS’s back on and never look back.
good tyres got a set on my 01 TT, handling, ride, + traction is great but not a lot of miles on them as this is my summer fun car!!
Absolutely great tires. I’ve used them year-round on other vehicles, and they are the best all-around performers I’ve encountered.
I have run the Conti DWS as my tire of choice on my previous Mk. 6 GTI and current 2016 R. I owned the GTI in Eugene, OR where we had a LOT of wet weather and snow was readily available close by or driving south to visit California.
Have Dunlop Sig HP 235/45r17 on my Volt. Not a bad tire. Grip is much higher than the stockers of course. Weird thing though, around 2 different off ramps at a similar speed to the stock tires, the ESP light comes on. I know it is getting light on the back inside tire, but I am coasting, not braking. Though, not sure how the regen works with the rear tires. So maybe the car is braking the back tires at the same amount as the regen is braking the front axle? Either way, never got an ESP light on any cornering with stock tires, and get it occasionally with the new ones. Slight slight bit of howl, but coming from the crap hypermile OE tires, everything is going to be louder. For the price I paid, I will not complain a bit.
The Dunlop's are worthless if you plan on doing any sort of off road driving. They were put on there to mainly optimize fuel consumption.
