Yep, another recommendation for the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06+. I have these on my TT, and my son has them on his R32 and GTI. I really like them. My next tires for my Dodge will likely be these tires. They are great in the rain and dry, they're not loud, and they are decent in light snow, but they are certainly not snow tires.
I had a set of Contis on my mk4 GTI and did a track day with them and they did great.
These tires were just taken off a two-week old 2022 Volkswagen GTI. The tires were driven lightly during break-in period before dismounting with only 315 miles on them. They are in as-new condition.
Enjoy those! I have a set on my Matrix, for street tires they are silly grippy, at least on that car, much better than a tall econobox has any real right to. I've tried some others, but keep coming back.
i run these tires on my Fusion, they are low profile, have good traction. As they are low profile, performance tires, they transmit road feel more than normal tires.
18” continental extreme contact sport. A+. Tons of grip on the rain and on the track every now and then works amazing for the upgraded power on my 6
Continental DWS. Gave up some responsiveness but rides on clouds now. Much more compliant on the roads now (19 inch wheels)
For my 2011 Element AWD, switched from the original Goodyears to Continental Control Contact in 235/65/16 (calculated for appropriate aspect ratio). No rubbing in the wheel wells. Better ride and traction.
From my experience between PSS and CSC05's The Contis are a lot less sticky (comparatively anyway) and have a bit more flex.
I have never been a fan of Conti tires, especially anything with "ContiSport" in its name. They come OE on many German marques, and I can't for the life of me figure out WHY other than some smoking back room deal hammered out over loads of pharmaceuticals in the wee hours of the morning. My MK6 felt like a cement truck with its OE Contis. They would flat spot in what seemed like 120 seconds, noisy as all get out and lasted 1/3 of the claimed milage. Ive permanently deformed Contis on my old 05 E55 by just hitting a small chuck hole or bump. This is anecdotal evidence at best, but my money is on the tires being deformed, belt shift or what ever the excuse of the day is.
