I'm on some Continental Truecontact Tours right now for the same reason you are looking around. The OEMs suck at grip. I've really enjoyed these continental's so far.
I've got about 10k on these Contis and still can't hear a discernible difference in road noise.
I swapped over to the SL 285/70R17 Nitto Terra Grappler and my gas mileage isn’t being affected a whole lot. I managed to get back into the 20mpg range over a 400 mile highway loop I did.
Call me a glazer because they're the only AS tire I use, but DWS06+ are tight.
I just went from the (not on your list) General AS-05 to the Conti DWS-06+. My impressions are that the Continental is the quieter, smoother-riding tire, where the General felt a bit sharper, if noisier.
I absolutely love the DWS 06+ and have bought many sets of them for different cars over the years. Great balance of performance and comfort IMO.
I’ve been rocking Continental True Contact lately and they’re really good.
The DWS 06 is an awesome tire. Had a set on our Jaguar EV.
My Continental ECS Sport lasted about 5 events. Not the most track oriented but fine for me. I didn’t really need new ones but the lack of camber was evident and they came out with the Sport 02
Yeah these are the worst tires I’ve ever owned. I’ve had mine for almost 3 years and notice this HS starting last year. I’m in Chicago area. Then.. last week i hit a pothole when it was pretty cold(that wasn’t even that bad of a pothole) that caused my side wall to tear. The durability on these tires is pathetic.
