Just purchased my first set of the DWS 06 Plus, based on several factors including your review and purchase for your Porsche. Super smooth, great traction for my needs, and low noise-245/40/19 Thanks for all the awesome work you do!
@NissanGuy94 I just got DWS 06 Plus (2012 Audi A6 3.0T) in the same size 245/40/19 and was previous running EC sport (summer). The DWS are MUCH quieter. Steering feel is noticeably reduced though. I'm enjoying the comfort and they should last a lot longer than the summers. The summers were probably noisy as they were down to 3/32 tread depth - I still think they are quieter though.
@@reeisessit Yup. Porsche doesn’t do it and some manufacturers at least allow you to turn it off without needing to pull fuses or using a third party OBD-II connected app.
@@Ficon I just googled it and found an article of 2012 when porsche did fake sound in the cabin like 911 and Panamera GTS but it doesnt matter, nowadays almost every car has it and on almost every car you can turn it off.
@@reeisessit Using resonance pipes to bring actual engine noises into the cabin is not the same as playing fake sounds through the speakers. Most cars do not allow you to turn it off and it actually gets louder in sport mode.
Can we talk about how Jon is flying around a track constantly squealing the tires and riding the limit and still can give us an incredibly in depth review of the fine detail between tires
I ran a three day rally on the Tail of the Dragon with DWS-06's in a 500hp E92. Never broke them loose once. Day 2 rained the entire day. Never lost traction. I was truly amazed. Little no no signs of wear. I just ordered a set of ECS02's for my F82 M4 to see if they perform as well.
Again, a great review! The fact that you were able to get the 3 different performance tires from one manufacturer was awesome. I am currently running the Continental DW, which is the earlier version of the Continental Sport, on my F56 JCW and, once again, your results for the Sport are spot on to my expectations for an up graded version of the DW. I recently “tested” the DW in the monsoon rains we have been having here in the NE area of the States. With standing water and at highway speeds I had no issues; no hydroplaning. A very confidence inspiring tire. Glad to hear the Conti Sport did equally well or better. I am also impressed with the DWS results. Again, glad to hear I have a viable option for the JCW for the 3 seasons here where the DW/Sport is less desirable option.
Thanks to Jonathan’s reviews, I’m enjoying my 1st set of Continental’s with 4 UHP Extreme Contact Sport Summer tires and they are every bit as awesome as he describes…. Thanks for the best reviews on the net!
Had the Conti DWS from this test for about 6 Colorado winters. Surprisingly very remarkable in terms of ice and light snow traction. Great evacuation for slush. Obviously not going to be great for deep snow, but given the car the tires were on we’d never have taken it out in the midst of a storm anyway. But with these you could confidently set out anytime after the first lows do their thing.
I run DWS-06's in the winter and ECS in the summer. Those DWS's are nuts in the snow and hardly show wear, and I've never hydroplaned on the ECS's while outrunning the wipers, in a miata... Amazing tires from Conti, super excited to try those new ECF's in 225's!
Was super curious how the ECS did in the rain on a Miata. I have a ND Miata that came with super low quality/cheap tires on it that slip in the wet and dry. Just bought the conti ecs and am super excited to feel them
I just bought a new Miata RF GT and I am torn between these two tires. Because here in Alabama during winter it gets near freezing, albeit very dry, every day for most of the winter. The summers are extremely hot and rainy for the most part. Basically just curious if the DWS do better in dry cold
I put a full year on DWS 06s in my NC Miata. They were great in snow for an all-season, though admittedly, the rears still had new tire smell when the snow hit. When summer came, I basically melted them off. That's probably being a bit too unkind, but one of my fronts is about to show chords at 13 months and 25k miles. Probably half of that wear happened in the last 4 months. They were fast enough to keep up with my buddy's Mustang. I just ordered a set of ECS 02s, and I'm excited to see just how outrageous the body roll will be.
Follow-up. I burned the ECS off my front in less than 6 months of driving. They're a bit faster than DWS for sure, but MUCH sharper. At the limit, the DWS start to feel like pudding and the ECS feel angry, somehow. The body roll reached "bump stops on smooth roads" levels, which I tacked with cubic money (Ohlins!) I ended up putting Blizzak WS90s on for the winter, which made the car EPIC for exactly one day of blizzard rally touge dorifto action, but they drove like used condoms in the dry and wet, at ANY temperature. The car was a UFO on snow and ice, but trash on anything else. I almost crashed a couple times because, even at 30F in the wet, the ECS and DWS absolutely curb stomp the Blizzaks and my normal pace through intersections was beyond their limit. They're going back on this winter, but my goal is to destroy them. They're great fun for drifting because they make their best grip while sideways (even dry). If they still exist in April, I'm turning them into smoke. Back to DWS for winters after that.
Very interesting content again! May I just suggest something? I thought it would be a good thing to show us a constant picture and/or name of the tyre we're talking about, at the side of the screen, because at a moment I was wondering what tyre we were talking about. Now beside that, I really enjoyed the video, once again! Keep up the great work!
I looked for a uhp summer vs uhp all season comparison for about two weeks. I finally found your video sitting in the waiting room while my new tires are being installed. Quite the timing, ha! I went with DWS 06 Plus. I'm surprised the summer tires did so well in the wet. Thanks for a great video!
Follow up - I love the DWS 06+. Fantastic tire! For road use, they are about as good as it gets unless you want a snow tire for the winter. Agreed though, that they aren't meant for the track. I autocrossed with them a twice and their side walls are too soft, and they got too hot pretty easily in late spring and summer. Grip is good, but easily outclassed by most all summer tires.
Thanks for this video. This has convinced me that I want a Summer tire. I live in the South, and get very little Winter weather. The car I'm looking to equip is a Miata, which, IMO, is a "Summer car". Yes, I drive it in the Spring & Fall, but not Winter. So a Summer tire it is.
DWS06+ vs DWS06 The DWS06+ get a solid 9.0 out of 10 overall. A summer tire is about a 9.5 or 9.7 in dry and wet conditions. This tire is so close to being perfect it's amazing. I loved those Nokian WRG4 especially for winter but they moved around the moment they hit warm wet roads. Now I'll be purchasing the Michelin PSAS4 for winter duties. In Maryland our weather is literally identical to the UK most of the time, just a bit more sunshine and high humidity in summer. I've done nearly 8k miles since ownership. Something I noticed is that now the front tires actually get good heat in them. The WRG4 would get +4 to 5psi rear while the front only about +2 when warm. These evenly go up and I can tell there's an improvement in tread wear. The DWS06+ tire is definitely chunkier than the outgoing DWS06. They take pot hole way better, way way better. I run 245/40 18 front and 265/35 18 rear as my stock setup. DWS06+ are better than the DWS06 in every way. The only difference I noticed was road noise in the first 100miles or so. Also cold tires they rumble a little but once broken in and warmed up they're quiet. Also if you under inflat them a bit they rumble. I've driven in below 40° f a few days we transitioned in March in April from winter to spring. The tires did great in 30° f. In the wet. Since owning this Mercedes-Benz I've had several sets of tires on this car. The stock ContiProContact, Nokian WRG4 (squared 245), and DWS06. They all had a tendency to move around in the front. I couldn't drive over 55mph safely in the rain. My car is rwd. The DWS06+ track very well even on terrible Baltimore roads in sport. I used to get a weird almost detached rear end feeling at low speeds, and that's gone. I'm assuming the ESP system was kicking in.
The Hankook RS4 keeps going out of stock, so I'm looking for a replacement for an endurance 200TW! though ECF is way more expensive, but I hope the wear test comes soon!
They've already said it is "endurance focused" so it won't be a one lap wonder like the Yoko A052. But it will likely be a lot more expensive than the current endurance king, the Hankook R-S4.
Hey Jon, long-time lurker - and liker - of your videos here! Just a suggestion: when you utilise imperial units such as at 11:48, it'd be great if you could just add a small bracket for the metric version at the lower part of the video like what Doug Demuro does in his videos. Otherwise, great job with your work all these years and I'll keep watching!
A great review, as usual! I’ve been waiting for an assessment of the DWS06+ versus a summer tire. I LOVE my Michelin PS4S but worry about the weather fluctuations in spring/fall in New England and need a functional daily. Sounds like the new DWS06+ is the choice w/ a dedicated winter setup for truly snowy conditions. Can’t wait for the winter tests to confirm my decisions.
I have the Michelin PS AS4 on my car and the new DWS 06 Plus on my wifes car. If you like your PS4s, go with the Michelin All Seasons. The Contis lack just a little bit in feel compared to the Michelins.
I run DWS-06 as a dedicated winter tire, and ECS in the summer. Never felt like I've needed anything more in the snow, those things are crazy good. I rock 15" and 16" in the winter on a miata, nobody else makes anything comparable in the sizes...
Im from Colorado and got these tires in November for my civic Si, and they have been able to get through every storm so far without getting stuck. I’m also lowered about 1 ½” and it got through some deep 8” parking lots
I picked up a set of DWS06+ from my local Lincoln garage, who gave me a sweet deal as they have done all the upgrades on my ‘13 ST since I bought it. I went with all-seasons because I take long road trips fairly often and can face dry heat one day and snow and ice the next. The Continentals have been a great choice for the car and I’m looking forward to getting the Dunlop winter tires off after the last frost in April and putting the Contis back on.
Would love to see the pilot sport cup 2 (240) connect vs the extreme contact force. Knowing this channel and all the hints you dropped this is already in the works. My prediction the ECF will have better wear and will be better in the wet whereas the cup 2 will have slightly better dry performance. Cant wait for your in depth testing.
Ordered the DWS06 + 255/45R20 for a Ford Flex 3.5L bi turbo tuned at 420 hp / 430 lbs/ft torque. Should be a great ride! Bought them before seeing this review but this is greatly comforting. They are light weight (translates into quick acceleration and braking) and to top it off they are made in my country of birth :-)
I just fitted a set of Goodyear Eagle Exhillarate UHP A/S on my mk7 GTI as per Tyre reviews test and am extremely impressed. Should wear better than the summers and offer plenty of grip for the road. Still need the winters though, all-seasons are marginal for snowy conditions.
just ordered new set of 235/40/18 DWS 06 Plus for my neuspeed wheels to replace my worn Michelin PSS for my MK7 GTI for Michigan summers. I have MI X-ICE on factory wheels but in West MI the Spring/Fall can catch you off guard with temp/snow and make the car undriveable. Hope Its not a terrible loss of dry/handling performance...
Fantastic comparison. Thank you so much. I was super curious about the new Conti Extreme Contact Force. Definitely will be an option for Lucky Dog and Lemons endurance racers that face rain and don't want to risk using Hankook RS4's (fantastic tire, tread life, will ruin your day in rain). Also great option for the 'wet' set of tires for die hard autocrossers.

I have the DWS06 on my '18 BRZ and the difference in cold weather and snow compared to the stock primacy is night and day. Plus it is more comfortable and more stable. I daily drive my car year round with these tires. I'll be purchasing the DWS06 + when it's time to replace these tires.
My experience has been that even a more budget UHP tire like the Indy 500 or General G-Max RS is an improvement in dry handling over premium UHP all season like the PS AS3 and RE980 A/S.
First of all, Indy's would easily outperform most A/S in the dry because they're a summer compound. lol The Indy's do absolutely terrible in the wet though. I live in the PNW where it's rainy 80% of the year and it was a chore keeping grip with those vs DWS06 / PS3/3+/4 and summers like ExtremeContact Sports & PS4S. Both those summers out performing the Indy's in the dry as well. Indy's are decent in the dry. But for just $100 more in total cost. You can buy a much better tire like the ExtremeContact Sport. Tires are arguably the most important part of a car as it's what is between you & the road. If you enjoy driving and pushing cars. Pinching pennies on tires will only serve to have massive compromises and increase your risk factor exponentially. It's very much worth paying that extra $100.
@@Peylix agreed. That's why I have pilot sport all season 4 on my Accord. I lose a bit to the dedicated summer tires, but they're arguably the best out there... For now
@@Peylix The drawback of the ECS is that it has softer sidewalls and the driver might lose some steering feedback and road feel. The Potenza S007A had the same rigid sidewalls as the Indy 500s without the weak wet performance. It seems like the newer Potenza Sport has softer sidewalls more like the PS4S or ECS unfortunately, though thankfully perhaps not quite as soft. If North America does get the Potenza RE004 as a MkII version of the Indy 500, that should improve the weakness in the wet while still having the rigid sidewalls like the older model Potenzas like the S007A or RE003 (Indy 500).
I hesitated a lot between the DWS06+ and Sport for my Sportwagen 4motion here in Canada. Using Nokian in winter. Went with DWS06+ due to high proportion of cold/wet days, poor road conditions, only moderate “sporty driving”. Hope I won’t be disappointed. HATED the Cinturato P7 especially in wet traction.
Great channel, thanks for this video! I've been agonizing over this very decision lately. I have a mk7 Golf R, and run summer/winter tires. Where I live, nighttime temps start dipping below 4C/40F in October, and don't reliably stay above that until mid-May. Usually, we don't see snow during before late November, or after March, so I hate to use dedicated snows (X-Ice) for the full 7 months of colder weather. But if I use the summers, I end up a little nervous driving late at night, or going on overnight trips for a few months out of the year, and I'm certainly not pushing the car at those temperatures. So 'fun' season ends up being only 4-5 months long. I feel like I'd get more confident use out of the car switching to A/S tires, but am worried about losing performance and enjoyment. The car came on contisportcontact 5p, and they were quite good in all performance respects. However, they wore pretty fast (down to 3/32 at 40000km), and for the 2nd half of their life, were VERY loud, annoyingly so. I've just pulled the trigger on a set of DWS06+. The price was about 40% less than the PS4S, 20% less than AS4. For the price, I could have chosen something like the Firestone Indy 500 or Falken FK510. What I'm hoping for is lower noise and better comfort than the 5Ps I'm replacing, and good performance in spring/fall temps, hopefully without too big a summer performance hit. Hopefully I've not made a big mistake! One interesting note - the DWS06+ look to be about 10lbs per corner lighter than the 5P I'm replacing. I'm not sure what the implications are for performance and MPG, or anything else for that matter, but it was a surprise to me.
Glad I helped you make up your mind, let me know how you find them! Don't forget, new tyres always feel a bit soft compared to worn tyres, so don't be too worried if you find that when you put them on.
Got an update for us? I'm thinking of putting the DWS 06+ on my Mazdaspeed3 for pretty much the exact same reasons as you said. I would love to hear some feedback from someone else in the FWD Hot hatch club running those tires!
@@andrewnickds Idk if you figured out your tire situation but you should absolutely go AS. Unless we're talking about a weekend canyon runner, you don't see winter, or wouldn't use winter tires for more than 1/4 of the year; the tiny tiny performance hit from AS is 100% worth it for the sheer amount more usefulness the tire has. It's like being at 100% for 65% of the time vs being at 96% for 100% of the time.
awesome review! i recently went with the ECS on my car specifically because it did well in the wet road holding and braking while still being respectfully sticky in the dry. i dont race my car so a 200tw tire isnt for me (anymore) and it rarely sees snow or extremely cold temps.
Fantastic video!!! Great photography, well edited and very informative. Love your reviews!!!!!! Can't wait to see the Extreme Contact against the other 200 tread wear track tires. Sounds like it will do well. Can we have it this year????? Please!!!!
I'm interested in a comparison between a highly rated UHP All Season (DWS or Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4) and a middle of the pack Performance Summer tire that would be comparatively priced. Curious if a highly rated UHP All Season actually out performs a lesser rated Summer.
@@St3vo13 You'd notice the steering slowness of the UHP AS tire for sure, you might not notice the grip difference apart from in an emergency situation where you need it! I'm not sure there would be a huge amount in it!
Thanks for this video. Very curious about the Extremecontact Force. I know you mentioned that it was super hot during testing, but how would you rate the speed in which it came up to temperature versus the other 200tw tires you've tested in the past? I would love to see a test with this versus the Rival S 1.5, A052, Rt660 etc. If you end up doing that it would be great to have some feedback on how fast the tires come up to temp (especially useful for the Autocross, Sprint Race, Time Attack, Hillclimb crowd). Great work on this!
I just bought a full set of dws 06 plus. I mounted 265/35 on the fronts, 275/35 on the rears. Wheels are squared 9”. The 265 on 9” fronts feels fine but the 275 on 9” rear feels floaty. I think 275 is too wide for 9”. Even though continental said it’s fine. But they have a 60 days customer satisfaction so I may trade in all 4 and get 4 extremecontact sports in 265.
Maybe do a future comparison of All Season tires VS Summer tires in days with 30 degrees Celsius. All season tires sales have grown nearly 30% in Central Europe, where most countries have incredibly hot Summers and even hotter tarmac. It would be nice to see how premium AS tires fair against cheap Summer tires on hot tarmac, seeing that there are many emerging economy brands that make really good Summer tires.
Thanks Jonathan. I believe these are all not available in the uk unfortunately. Will you be doing an uhp comparison with at least 2 of those categories, summer and all season, which are sold in the UK? Cheers
@@tyrereviews Might have actually seen it? Guessing we are talking the uk average all seasons rather than the sportier versions like this continental or the michelin pilot sport AS4 etc?! As far as I know, that's all we get here. I know the crossclimate +/2 is rated but, again, it's not a sporty tyre ☹
Another excellent video, showing once again (pragmatically) what quality tyres do for driving enjoyment. Does the ExtremeContact Sport sit above the SportContact 6 in terms of dry performance?
quick note may be different in the UK but over here we call that Continental Extreme Contact Sport tire a Max Performance tire, and the new Force tire is considered a extreme summer tire i.e track days.
@@tyrereviews interesting 🤔 I've just always used tire rack and notice that's how they grouped the tires. I am still on the fence if I should choose the Conti ECS or ECF. I do daily my car and I have been known to hit triple digits in the rain I'm just not 100% confident in these new Force tires if they will be able to hold up in those kinds of conditions? Or if I were to use those tires I would have to be a lot more careful whenever it rained. I do like taking the car to the mountains and even if it does rain I still like to drive the car hard! THANKS FOR THE REVIEW!
hi jonathan would love to see you compare the Yoko A052, the RE71RS, This new extreme force contact, Michelin Cup 2, Pirelli P Zeo Trofeo...... as a guy who tracks his cars id love to get your views and thoughts
there is no good video to make this comment (and thanks for the great content btw!) but; I realized that if your tires wear slow enough they dry rot, then you probably should be able to use how much tread was left and its rating to (at least within brand?) pick a stickier tire that would need to be replaced around the time it would start to degrade/rot (6/7 years?). For me, I have had more than a couple cars that are 20+ years old with less than 30k miles on them and end up having 9+ year old good tread depth, hard cracking tires. Also have cars that can see 30k+ miles a year. The 91 Corvette with under 50k miles tires will dry rot, the 18 BRZ with 115k miles is on its 3rd set of summer and 2nd set of winter tires.
I'm really looking forward to when you test the ExtremeContact Force against other tires in the same category. I love many qualities of the Michelin PS4S, but on my Gallardo I get a numb steering feel. For my next set of tires I have been looking specifically for tires that are sharper and more talkative. It seems like based on your videos the Michelin Sport Cup 2, Goodyear SuperCar 3, and the new ExtremeContact Force. What do you think will give me the most feedback in the steering wheel? I'm in Texas and don't drive the car in the rain so I just need it to not want to kill me on a cool 45 degree morning, but it seems like all the decent tires are good enough at that now.
Of course the 100TW tires like the Michelin sport cup 2 will give you the most feedback. But it’s a track mostly tire. You really wouldn’t want to drive on the street with those. They don’t last long. . A 200 TW tire like the continental Force should be good enough.
@@Phuong_Nguyen_ I ended up going with the Goodyear Supercar 3 and am very happy with them. I echo everything TyreReviews has said about them in other videos.
@@Phuong_Nguyen_ Too soon to tell, I only have a couple hundred miles on them. My expectation based on user reviews is there will still be some decent tread when I'm ready to replace them due to age after 3 years but only 6k miles.
Just put on ECS this year (primarily because the Michelin PS4S' kept getting delayed) and am pretty happy with how comfortable and responsive they are.
@@tyrereviews can't wait! PS: it's amazing how far uhp all season tires have come compared to uhp summer tires. There's still a gap, but for most people with normal cars... They're plenty of fun.
I recently hit a pothole and damage my tire. I change it to the DWS06 PLUS from a Arroyo Grand Sport 2. I am not sure if this an upgrade but I like the UHP Summer tire over all season but I have never try the DWS06 yet.
The dws 06 is the best i ever use i left 4 wheel drive trucks in the dust. In summer they hook big time and cornering is like on rails on my audi s6 v10 i love these.
I am a huge fan of the DWS 06. on my 2006 Corvette, they transform the car. Better wet handling than the Goodyear F1's, and while you di give up a slight amount of grip, they are not as twitchy, and breakaway is predictable and smooth.. the F1's were absolutely not, they were grip grip grip.. spit you off the road. Tread life is amazing, Def my go to tire for a daily driven performance car. Want to go to the track, its easier to have another set of wheels and your favorite HP tires at the ready.
Would like to see a comparison between the Sport and the new SportContact 7 which you have now reviewed. The SportContact 7 seemed to be the new standard in the UHP Sumer Tyre category.
I DWS on my focus and the Contact Sports on my mustang! Love Continental! They do a great job. I really want to try those Extreme Contact Forces on the mustang though! I keep hearing good things!
I just ordered new rims and the CECSport, hoping to see a big improvement verses what I have been using, the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate. 2010 Camaro SS 680rwhp. It seems after your review I made a great choice, of course only summer, haven’t seen rain as that’s not a concern of mine, performance and hook up. Thank you for your reviews!
what I noticed is that there's a big difference between a soaking wet road and when it's slightly damp. Just too many aspects to mention them all but that'd be an interesting part in testing.
@@tyrereviews that's true as well. Maybe something for a cloudy day. Just from my experience that's the most interesting part for a tyre especially when aged. Already looking forward to the aged tyre test. Is it still coming?
Great comparison! I have the Extreme Contact Sports as well as the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s...the difference isn't as much as folks make it out to be/the UHP AS tires really work well.
@@tyrereviews Maybe u can test in the 200tw tests? Since they are 120(track) or 180 (street) treadwear.. looking forward to more test vids from you.. Thank you for sharing ;)

@NissanGuy94 I just got DWS 06 Plus (2012 Audi A6 3.0T) in the same size 245/40/19 and was previous running EC sport (summer). The DWS are MUCH quieter. Steering feel is noticeably reduced though. I'm enjoying the comfort and they should last a lot longer than the summers. The summers were probably noisy as they were down to 3/32 tread depth - I still think they are quieter though.

Can we talk about how Jon is flying around a track constantly squealing the tires and riding the limit and still can give us an incredibly in depth review of the fine detail between tires
Excellent video as always! Great to see another tire manufacturer supporting your testing!
Thank you!
Me
I ran a three day rally on the Tail of the Dragon with DWS-06's in a 500hp E92. Never broke them loose once. Day 2 rained the entire day. Never lost traction. I was truly amazed. Little no no signs of wear. I just ordered a set of ECS02's for my F82 M4 to see if they perform as well.
How’s performance
What is your rear camber?
Again, a great review! The fact that you were able to get the 3 different performance tires from one manufacturer was awesome. I am currently running the Continental DW, which is the earlier version of the Continental Sport, on my F56 JCW and, once again, your results for the Sport are spot on to my expectations for an up graded version of the DW. I recently “tested” the DW in the monsoon rains we have been having here in the NE area of the States. With standing water and at highway speeds I had no issues; no hydroplaning. A very confidence inspiring tire. Glad to hear the Conti Sport did equally well or better. I am also impressed with the DWS results. Again, glad to hear I have a viable option for the JCW for the 3 seasons here where the DW/Sport is less desirable option.
Glad you enjoyed it and you're getting on with your tyres
Thanks to Jonathan’s reviews, I’m enjoying my 1st set of Continental’s with 4 UHP Extreme Contact Sport Summer tires and they are every bit as awesome as he describes…. Thanks for the best reviews on the net!
Would love to see a cold - but not snowy - comparison test!
Had the Conti DWS from this test for about 6 Colorado winters. Surprisingly very remarkable in terms of ice and light snow traction. Great evacuation for slush. Obviously not going to be great for deep snow, but given the car the tires were on we’d never have taken it out in the midst of a storm anyway. But with these you could confidently set out anytime after the first lows do their thing.
Interesting insights there, comparing these directly shows how far tyre technology has come.
I run DWS-06's in the winter and ECS in the summer. Those DWS's are nuts in the snow and hardly show wear, and I've never hydroplaned on the ECS's while outrunning the wipers, in a miata...
Amazing tires from Conti, super excited to try those new ECF's in 225's!
Fully agree on the DWS in the snow (in a Miata). Can't confirm on the others though.
Was super curious how the ECS did in the rain on a Miata. I have a ND Miata that came with super low quality/cheap tires on it that slip in the wet and dry. Just bought the conti ecs and am super excited to feel them
I just bought a new Miata RF GT and I am torn between these two tires. Because here in Alabama during winter it gets near freezing, albeit very dry, every day for most of the winter. The summers are extremely hot and rainy for the most part. Basically just curious if the DWS do better in dry cold
I put a full year on DWS 06s in my NC Miata. They were great in snow for an all-season, though admittedly, the rears still had new tire smell when the snow hit. When summer came, I basically melted them off. That's probably being a bit too unkind, but one of my fronts is about to show chords at 13 months and 25k miles. Probably half of that wear happened in the last 4 months. They were fast enough to keep up with my buddy's Mustang. I just ordered a set of ECS 02s, and I'm excited to see just how outrageous the body roll will be.
Follow-up. I burned the ECS off my front in less than 6 months of driving. They're a bit faster than DWS for sure, but MUCH sharper. At the limit, the DWS start to feel like pudding and the ECS feel angry, somehow. The body roll reached "bump stops on smooth roads" levels, which I tacked with cubic money (Ohlins!)
I ended up putting Blizzak WS90s on for the winter, which made the car EPIC for exactly one day of blizzard rally touge dorifto action, but they drove like used condoms in the dry and wet, at ANY temperature. The car was a UFO on snow and ice, but trash on anything else. I almost crashed a couple times because, even at 30F in the wet, the ECS and DWS absolutely curb stomp the Blizzaks and my normal pace through intersections was beyond their limit. They're going back on this winter, but my goal is to destroy them. They're great fun for drifting because they make their best grip while sideways (even dry). If they still exist in April, I'm turning them into smoke. Back to DWS for winters after that.
I'd like to see Ecocontact vs premium contact vs SportContac.
Same premium brand, 3 category tyre. How much their compound compare ?
I also wanna see the EcoContact vs its family :=)
Aren’t those tires are no longer on production?
Don't worry about compound, worry more about the tyre structure and the handling!
I saw the ECF tire in the thumbnail and I HAD to click immediately! I'm so curious on those tires and no one has done a review yet.
They're awesome :)
Can’t wait for the next video looking at 200TW tires !
Very interesting content again! May I just suggest something? I thought it would be a good thing to show us a constant picture and/or name of the tyre we're talking about, at the side of the screen, because at a moment I was wondering what tyre we were talking about. Now beside that, I really enjoyed the video, once again! Keep up the great work!
I'll keep that in mind :)
Great video
Was expecting much worse from the all season
I looked for a uhp summer vs uhp all season comparison for about two weeks. I finally found your video sitting in the waiting room while my new tires are being installed. Quite the timing, ha! I went with DWS 06 Plus. I'm surprised the summer tires did so well in the wet. Thanks for a great video!
Follow up - I love the DWS 06+. Fantastic tire! For road use, they are about as good as it gets unless you want a snow tire for the winter. Agreed though, that they aren't meant for the track. I autocrossed with them a twice and their side walls are too soft, and they got too hot pretty easily in late spring and summer. Grip is good, but easily outclassed by most all summer tires.
AWESOME1 Thank you so much! I have been waiting for this for years, you did a great job!
Thank you :D
The only channel I watch every new video immediately...even if I am at work! hahaha
:D
Can't wait for the 200tw test. Been waiting for this for so long and most relevant this time of year with track days.
IT was the previous video!
Jonathan, you never disappoint
I run the DWS 06+ on my 2020 MX-5 and drive in the winter. I absolutely LOVE the tires in the snow. Overall incredible tire in all conditions.
Thanks for this video. This has convinced me that I want a Summer tire. I live in the South, and get very little Winter weather. The car I'm looking to equip is a Miata, which, IMO, is a "Summer car". Yes, I drive it in the Spring & Fall, but not Winter. So a Summer tire it is.
DWS06+ vs DWS06
The DWS06+ get a solid 9.0 out of 10 overall. A summer tire is about a 9.5 or 9.7 in dry and wet conditions.
This tire is so close to being perfect it's amazing. I loved those Nokian WRG4 especially for winter but they moved around the moment they hit warm wet roads. Now I'll be purchasing the Michelin PSAS4 for winter duties. In Maryland our weather is literally identical to the UK most of the time, just a bit more sunshine and high humidity in summer. I've done nearly 8k miles since ownership.
Something I noticed is that now the front tires actually get good heat in them. The WRG4 would get +4 to 5psi rear while the front only about +2 when warm. These evenly go up and I can tell there's an improvement in tread wear.
The DWS06+ tire is definitely chunkier than the outgoing DWS06. They take pot hole way better, way way better.
I run 245/40 18 front and 265/35 18 rear as my stock setup.
DWS06+ are better than the DWS06 in every way. The only difference I noticed was road noise in the first 100miles or so. Also cold tires they rumble a little but once broken in and warmed up they're quiet. Also if you under inflat them a bit they rumble.
I've driven in below 40° f a few days we transitioned in March in April from winter to spring. The tires did great in 30° f.
In the wet.
Since owning this Mercedes-Benz I've had several sets of tires on this car.
The stock ContiProContact, Nokian WRG4 (squared 245), and DWS06. They all had a tendency to move around in the front. I couldn't drive over 55mph safely in the rain. My car is rwd.
The DWS06+ track very well even on terrible Baltimore roads in sport. I used to get a weird almost detached rear end feeling at low speeds, and that's gone. I'm assuming the ESP system was kicking in.
Thanks so much for doing this! It seems none of the major tire reviewers do this.
Who are the major tire reviewers in your opinion?
@@tyrereviews now that I think about it, I'm really only talking about Tire Rack.
All impressive tires! Great test!
Enjoy the thoroughness of your tyre reviews. Thanks for all of the work.
Can’t wait to see the 200 utqg comparisons. I had a good autocross season on the Falken RT660s but missed my old RE71 sidewall stiffness
It's always on the channel :)
The Hankook RS4 keeps going out of stock, so I'm looking for a replacement for an endurance 200TW! though ECF is way more expensive, but I hope the wear test comes soon!
Finally a tire with the dimension 225/40 R17 😍
I use the ECS as my daily tire in FL, and can't wait to see how the ECF compares to other 200tw tires
They've already said it is "endurance focused" so it won't be a one lap wonder like the Yoko A052. But it will likely be a lot more expensive than the current endurance king, the Hankook R-S4.
@@gwcrispi I have rs4s for my car rn, Im interested to see if the contis will really be worth the extra $, either through performance or wear
@@DaAnimalControl are the ecf's better than the rs4's in grip/times?
Hey Jon, long-time lurker - and liker - of your videos here! Just a suggestion: when you utilise imperial units such as at 11:48, it'd be great if you could just add a small bracket for the metric version at the lower part of the video like what Doug Demuro does in his videos. Otherwise, great job with your work all these years and I'll keep watching!
Or consider using the Project Binky wonky imperial conversions, which are amusing in the extreme! ;)
A great review, as usual! I’ve been waiting for an assessment of the DWS06+ versus a summer tire. I LOVE my Michelin PS4S but worry about the weather fluctuations in spring/fall in New England and need a functional daily. Sounds like the new DWS06+ is the choice w/ a dedicated winter setup for truly snowy conditions. Can’t wait for the winter tests to confirm my decisions.
I have the Michelin PS AS4 on my car and the new DWS 06 Plus on my wifes car. If you like your PS4s, go with the Michelin All Seasons. The Contis lack just a little bit in feel compared to the Michelins.
@@ak2112 DWS + are so much more comfortable, Michelin are much stiffer...if you are not a street racer, go for DWS + for your daily driver.
I run DWS-06 as a dedicated winter tire, and ECS in the summer. Never felt like I've needed anything more in the snow, those things are crazy good.
I rock 15" and 16" in the winter on a miata, nobody else makes anything comparable in the sizes...
Im from Colorado and got these tires in November for my civic Si, and they have been able to get through every storm so far without getting stuck. I’m also lowered about 1 ½” and it got through some deep 8” parking lots
@@TheRyansLion have you ran these in the summer? I have a ‘22 Si and looking to get DWS+
Iv been waiting for a comparison like this. Thank you
You are the best tire reviewer!!!
Totaly agree!!!!
I picked up a set of DWS06+ from my local Lincoln garage, who gave me a sweet deal as they have done all the upgrades on my ‘13 ST since I bought it. I went with all-seasons because I take long road trips fairly often and can face dry heat one day and snow and ice the next. The Continentals have been a great choice for the car and I’m looking forward to getting the Dunlop winter tires off after the last frost in April and putting the Contis back on.
Would love to see the pilot sport cup 2 (240) connect vs the extreme contact force. Knowing this channel and all the hints you dropped this is already in the works. My prediction the ECF will have better wear and will be better in the wet whereas the cup 2 will have slightly better dry performance. Cant wait for your in depth testing.
Ordered the DWS06 + 255/45R20 for a Ford Flex 3.5L bi turbo tuned at 420 hp / 430 lbs/ft torque. Should be a great ride! Bought them before seeing this review but this is greatly comforting. They are light weight (translates into quick acceleration and braking) and to top it off they are made in my country of birth :-)
Another excellent video mate!
Glad you enjoyed it
I just fitted a set of Goodyear Eagle Exhillarate UHP A/S on my mk7 GTI as per Tyre reviews test and am extremely impressed. Should wear better than the summers and offer plenty of grip for the road. Still need the winters though, all-seasons are marginal for snowy conditions.
Thanks for sharing! Please stick a review on www.tire-reviews.com if you get some time :)
this is the Tyre review I needed thanks so much for your work on this 22 thumbs up !
Best review channel -- data and detail oriented. Well structured videos.
i use the DW as my wet tire for champ car . 100% agree with the wet summery . dry though after 2 hours it became hot .
just ordered new set of 235/40/18 DWS 06 Plus for my neuspeed wheels to replace my worn Michelin PSS for my MK7 GTI for Michigan summers. I have MI X-ICE on factory wheels but in West MI the Spring/Fall can catch you off guard with temp/snow and make the car undriveable. Hope Its not a terrible loss of dry/handling performance...
Fantastic comparison. Thank you so much. I was super curious about the new Conti Extreme Contact Force. Definitely will be an option for Lucky Dog and Lemons endurance racers that face rain and don't want to risk using Hankook RS4's (fantastic tire, tread life, will ruin your day in rain). Also great option for the 'wet' set of tires for die hard autocrossers.
I have the DWS06 on my '18 BRZ and the difference in cold weather and snow compared to the stock primacy is night and day. Plus it is more comfortable and more stable. I daily drive my car year round with these tires. I'll be purchasing the DWS06 + when it's time to replace these tires.
Well, how could I NOT watch this...
:D
The DWS06plus is amazing. Simply amazing.
Best tire reviewing channel in the world BAR NONE
Best and only :D
My experience has been that even a more budget UHP tire like the Indy 500 or General G-Max RS is an improvement in dry handling over premium UHP all season like the PS AS3 and RE980 A/S.
First of all, Indy's would easily outperform most A/S in the dry because they're a summer compound. lol
The Indy's do absolutely terrible in the wet though. I live in the PNW where it's rainy 80% of the year and it was a chore keeping grip with those vs DWS06 / PS3/3+/4 and summers like ExtremeContact Sports & PS4S. Both those summers out performing the Indy's in the dry as well.
Indy's are decent in the dry. But for just $100 more in total cost. You can buy a much better tire like the ExtremeContact Sport.
Tires are arguably the most important part of a car as it's what is between you & the road. If you enjoy driving and pushing cars. Pinching pennies on tires will only serve to have massive compromises and increase your risk factor exponentially.
It's very much worth paying that extra $100.
@@Peylix agreed. That's why I have pilot sport all season 4 on my Accord. I lose a bit to the dedicated summer tires, but they're arguably the best out there... For now
@@Peylix The drawback of the ECS is that it has softer sidewalls and the driver might lose some steering feedback and road feel. The Potenza S007A had the same rigid sidewalls as the Indy 500s without the weak wet performance. It seems like the newer Potenza Sport has softer sidewalls more like the PS4S or ECS unfortunately, though thankfully perhaps not quite as soft. If North America does get the Potenza RE004 as a MkII version of the Indy 500, that should improve the weakness in the wet while still having the rigid sidewalls like the older model Potenzas like the S007A or RE003 (Indy 500).
I hesitated a lot between the DWS06+ and Sport for my Sportwagen 4motion here in Canada. Using Nokian in winter. Went with DWS06+ due to high proportion of cold/wet days, poor road conditions, only moderate “sporty driving”. Hope I won’t be disappointed. HATED the Cinturato P7 especially in wet traction.
Great channel, thanks for this video! I've been agonizing over this very decision lately.
I have a mk7 Golf R, and run summer/winter tires. Where I live, nighttime temps start dipping below 4C/40F in October, and don't reliably stay above that until mid-May. Usually, we don't see snow during before late November, or after March, so I hate to use dedicated snows (X-Ice) for the full 7 months of colder weather. But if I use the summers, I end up a little nervous driving late at night, or going on overnight trips for a few months out of the year, and I'm certainly not pushing the car at those temperatures. So 'fun' season ends up being only 4-5 months long.
I feel like I'd get more confident use out of the car switching to A/S tires, but am worried about losing performance and enjoyment. The car came on contisportcontact 5p, and they were quite good in all performance respects. However, they wore pretty fast (down to 3/32 at 40000km), and for the 2nd half of their life, were VERY loud, annoyingly so.
I've just pulled the trigger on a set of DWS06+. The price was about 40% less than the PS4S, 20% less than AS4. For the price, I could have chosen something like the Firestone Indy 500 or Falken FK510. What I'm hoping for is lower noise and better comfort than the 5Ps I'm replacing, and good performance in spring/fall temps, hopefully without too big a summer performance hit. Hopefully I've not made a big mistake!
One interesting note - the DWS06+ look to be about 10lbs per corner lighter than the 5P I'm replacing. I'm not sure what the implications are for performance and MPG, or anything else for that matter, but it was a surprise to me.
Glad I helped you make up your mind, let me know how you find them! Don't forget, new tyres always feel a bit soft compared to worn tyres, so don't be too worried if you find that when you put them on.
Got an update for us? I'm thinking of putting the DWS 06+ on my Mazdaspeed3 for pretty much the exact same reasons as you said. I would love to hear some feedback from someone else in the FWD Hot hatch club running those tires!
@@andrewnickds Idk if you figured out your tire situation but you should absolutely go AS. Unless we're talking about a weekend canyon runner, you don't see winter, or wouldn't use winter tires for more than 1/4 of the year; the tiny tiny performance hit from AS is 100% worth it for the sheer amount more usefulness the tire has. It's like being at 100% for 65% of the time vs being at 96% for 100% of the time.
Entertaining video with SUPERB presentation (as usual) Thank you! Enjoying my DWS 06 on sunny, dry days @ 35-50 degrees most of the winter here :D
Just saw the opening frame. Gosh this random Focus ST looks so magical. :) This car is growing on me (I have a mk2.5 orange, and always hated the mk3)
Perhaps it's the bright orange!
Oh, it is lovely in the sun, trust me :)
Very interested in the updated 200TW shootout. These contis, Goodyear supercar 3, and the others will make a great update video!
Dude, you Rock. This is really good work. Again
DWS06Plus are best all around tires. I have them on a muscle car. Smooth. Good tread-wear.
Could you make a vid, with all the Summer tire family from Continental ? Including the EcoContact ?
Thanks so much !!!
That AST seems really interesting! Can't wait for it to be tested in the snow
Another great test! Keep it up buddy👍😉💪
Thanks for thus detailed review... I am buying extremecontact DWS06 + for my Kia forte 2022... do you think that's the correct choice ? Thanks again
awesome review! i recently went with the ECS on my car specifically because it did well in the wet road holding and braking while still being respectfully sticky in the dry. i dont race my car so a 200tw tire isnt for me (anymore) and it rarely sees snow or extremely cold temps.
Sounds like the perfect choice :)
Thank you for the informative review. Might I suggest including the Michelin Crossclimate 2 on your next compare?
Its in this years all season test :)
Fantastic video!!! Great photography, well edited and very informative. Love your reviews!!!!!!
Can't wait to see the Extreme Contact against the other 200 tread wear track tires. Sounds like it will do well.
Can we have it this year????? Please!!!!
Probably not this year sadly!
...nice exhaust sound in this Focus.
I'm interested in a comparison between a highly rated UHP All Season (DWS or Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4) and a middle of the pack Performance Summer tire that would be comparatively priced. Curious if a highly rated UHP All Season actually out performs a lesser rated Summer.
In the dry, probably not, in the wet, probably :)
@@tyrereviews but would it a noticeable difference in the dry if you're not tracking it?
@@tyrereviews also I appreciate the reply. Wasn't expecting anything :)
@@St3vo13 You'd notice the steering slowness of the UHP AS tire for sure, you might not notice the grip difference apart from in an emergency situation where you need it! I'm not sure there would be a huge amount in it!
Thanks for this video. Very curious about the Extremecontact Force. I know you mentioned that it was super hot during testing, but how would you rate the speed in which it came up to temperature versus the other 200tw tires you've tested in the past? I would love to see a test with this versus the Rival S 1.5, A052, Rt660 etc. If you end up doing that it would be great to have some feedback on how fast the tires come up to temp (especially useful for the Autocross, Sprint Race, Time Attack, Hillclimb crowd). Great work on this!
I can't answer that accurately, sorry, it was really hot!
I just bought a full set of dws 06 plus. I mounted 265/35 on the fronts, 275/35 on the rears. Wheels are squared 9”. The 265 on 9” fronts feels fine but the 275 on 9” rear feels floaty. I think 275 is too wide for 9”. Even though continental said it’s fine. But they have a 60 days customer satisfaction so I may trade in all 4 and get 4 extremecontact sports in 265.
CAN WE GET A REVIEW ON POTHOLES?...which tyre glides through potholes and ditches like Vaseline lubricant?
What I would have liked to see was the wear to each of the tires after one days worth of testing.
Maybe do a future comparison of All Season tires VS Summer tires in days with 30 degrees Celsius.
All season tires sales have grown nearly 30% in Central Europe, where most countries have incredibly hot Summers and even hotter tarmac.
It would be nice to see how premium AS tires fair against cheap Summer tires on hot tarmac, seeing that there are many emerging economy brands that make really good Summer tires.
Good video! I really like the ECS and I'm looking forward to giving the ECF a go on track.
Thanks Jonathan.
I believe these are all not available in the uk unfortunately.
Will you be doing an uhp comparison with at least 2 of those categories, summer and all season, which are sold in the UK? Cheers
My last all season test had a summer tyre in as reference :) (and a winter)
@@tyrereviews Might have actually seen it?
Guessing we are talking the uk average all seasons rather than the sportier versions like this continental or the michelin pilot sport AS4 etc?!
As far as I know, that's all we get here.
I know the crossclimate +/2 is rated but, again, it's not a sporty tyre ☹
How would you rate the DWS06 plus vs PSAS4?
Another excellent video, showing once again (pragmatically) what quality tyres do for driving enjoyment. Does the ExtremeContact Sport sit above the SportContact 6 in terms of dry performance?
quick note may be different in the UK but over here we call that Continental Extreme Contact Sport tire a Max Performance tire, and the new Force tire is considered a extreme summer tire i.e track days.
I call them the same on the website, but the internet searches UHP more :)
@@tyrereviews interesting 🤔 I've just always used tire rack and notice that's how they grouped the tires. I am still on the fence if I should choose the Conti ECS or ECF. I do daily my car and I have been known to hit triple digits in the rain I'm just not 100% confident in these new Force tires if they will be able to hold up in those kinds of conditions? Or if I were to use those tires I would have to be a lot more careful whenever it rained. I do like taking the car to the mountains and even if it does rain I still like to drive the car hard!
THANKS FOR THE REVIEW!
Good work 👍
hi jonathan would love to see you compare the Yoko A052, the RE71RS, This new extreme force contact, Michelin Cup 2, Pirelli P Zeo Trofeo...... as a guy who tracks his cars id love to get your views and thoughts
there is no good video to make this comment (and thanks for the great content btw!) but;
I realized that if your tires wear slow enough they dry rot, then you probably should be able to use how much tread was left and its rating to (at least within brand?) pick a stickier tire that would need to be replaced around the time it would start to degrade/rot (6/7 years?).
For me, I have had more than a couple cars that are 20+ years old with less than 30k miles on them and end up having 9+ year old good tread depth, hard cracking tires. Also have cars that can see 30k+ miles a year. The 91 Corvette with under 50k miles tires will dry rot, the 18 BRZ with 115k miles is on its 3rd set of summer and 2nd set of winter tires.
I'm really looking forward to when you test the ExtremeContact Force against other tires in the same category. I love many qualities of the Michelin PS4S, but on my Gallardo I get a numb steering feel. For my next set of tires I have been looking specifically for tires that are sharper and more talkative. It seems like based on your videos the Michelin Sport Cup 2, Goodyear SuperCar 3, and the new ExtremeContact Force.
What do you think will give me the most feedback in the steering wheel? I'm in Texas and don't drive the car in the rain so I just need it to not want to kill me on a cool 45 degree morning, but it seems like all the decent tires are good enough at that now.
Of course the 100TW tires like the Michelin sport cup 2 will give you the most feedback. But it’s a track mostly tire. You really wouldn’t want to drive on the street with those. They don’t last long. . A 200 TW tire like the continental Force should be good enough.
@@Phuong_Nguyen_ I ended up going with the Goodyear Supercar 3 and am very happy with them. I echo everything TyreReviews has said about them in other videos.
@@rennstuffs5232 how long are they lasting you?
@@Phuong_Nguyen_ Too soon to tell, I only have a couple hundred miles on them. My expectation based on user reviews is there will still be some decent tread when I'm ready to replace them due to age after 3 years but only 6k miles.
Just put on ECS this year (primarily because the Michelin PS4S' kept getting delayed) and am pretty happy with how comfortable and responsive they are.
Hooray!
Can we put the cup 2 on snow also for "comedy relief" ?
Got the 4S on snow coming later this year
@@tyrereviews can't wait!
PS: it's amazing how far uhp all season tires have come compared to uhp summer tires. There's still a gap, but for most people with normal cars... They're plenty of fun.
Another great tire review video. Thanks.
Great contebt man. I'd love to see the new Force tire vs the RS4 and RT660 in the not to distant future.
Me to
I recently hit a pothole and damage my tire.
I change it to the DWS06 PLUS from a Arroyo Grand Sport 2. I am not sure if this an upgrade but I like the UHP Summer tire over all season but I have never try the DWS06 yet.
The dws 06 is the best i ever use i left 4 wheel drive trucks in the dust. In summer they hook big time and cornering is like on rails on my audi s6 v10 i love these.
This was a really helpful video. Thanks.
I am a huge fan of the DWS 06. on my 2006 Corvette, they transform the car. Better wet handling than the Goodyear F1's, and while you di give up a slight amount of grip, they are not as twitchy, and breakaway is predictable and smooth.. the F1's were absolutely not, they were grip grip grip.. spit you off the road. Tread life is amazing, Def my go to tire for a daily driven performance car. Want to go to the track, its easier to have another set of wheels and your favorite HP tires at the ready.
Would like to see a comparison between the Sport and the new SportContact 7 which you have now reviewed. The SportContact 7 seemed to be the new standard in the UHP Sumer Tyre category.
The main issue is they're not the same markets so the customer rarely has the chance to buy both!
Loved this review! Would the Force compare to something like the Advan A052? If so, can we expect a comparison at some point in future? Thanks!
I'm rollin' on some Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 235/35 ZR19 with my Focus ST. Very pleased with the stickyness!. Great tire.
I DWS on my focus and the Contact Sports on my mustang! Love Continental! They do a great job. I really want to try those Extreme Contact Forces on the mustang though! I keep hearing good things!
I just ordered new rims and the CECSport, hoping to see a big improvement verses what I have been using, the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate. 2010 Camaro SS 680rwhp. It seems after your review I made a great choice, of course only summer, haven’t seen rain as that’s not a concern of mine, performance and hook up. Thank you for your reviews!
what I noticed is that there's a big difference between a soaking wet road and when it's slightly damp. Just too many aspects to mention them all but that'd be an interesting part in testing.
Sadly damp conditions are very difficult to keep fair and consistent :(
@@tyrereviews that's true as well. Maybe something for a cloudy day. Just from my experience that's the most interesting part for a tyre especially when aged. Already looking forward to the aged tyre test. Is it still coming?
Thank you for nice video. I'm still looking for promised EV tires test. Is that still in plan to be done?
I have an etron at the moment, but it's not a full test, more normal vs ev tyres
@@tyrereviews I think low resistance tires like ecopia, e-primacy.. . Etron does not count. It needs UHP tires. Daily driver low resistance tires.
Please do the Conti ECS 02
Great comparison! I have the Extreme Contact Sports as well as the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s...the difference isn't as much as folks make it out to be/the UHP AS tires really work well.
