They have been fantastic for me for 14 years.
I don’t have an S5. I have an A7. I had the Pirelli’s just put the Continental DWS06 Plus on and in my opinion, they ride way better.
I’m running gp5000 AS TR in 28s they’ve been great.
The DWS06s are great all-season tires but are a bit softer of rubber, if you live in the south where its routinely over 100 degrees (even hotter on the pavement) i'd pick something else as a summer tire. I ran them on my 2014 Mustang GT year round and had no issues getting anywhere in the snow.
P.S DWS stands for Dry Wet and Snow and can be determined based off which of those letters are still on how deep the tread is
Continental Terra hardpack keep putting smiles on my face
The factory continentals were, by far, the WORST snow/wet tires I have ever had on a vehicle in 30+ years of driving. Hoping the all-seasons I have now fare better.
I just put my winters on, last year mine was an absolute animal in the snow with general altimax arctics on it.
I like the dws06s solid option
I had the PureContact LS before these. The PureContacts were slightly quieter, and also slightly smoother on roads, and because I didn't take the Extremes to the extreme, I can't say if/how much better they are at handling, but on paper they should be.
I would have stuck with the PureContacts, but I had a very unfortunate puncture that was unserviceable, and they don't make them anymore.
I bought a 2024 Ridgeline new in June 2024, and I just noticed dry rotting between the treads on all four OEM General Grabber A/T tires (date code 1424). This happened right before a long trip, and the truck has about 16k miles on it.
