Continental CrossContact LX25 vs Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS — Compared

“Got these for a steal I was looking for a 18 inch winter wheels set for my 997.1 S These came up and got them for $650 - full set with tires! Tires are Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus all-seasons - made in 0125 and have 90% thread on them. I was going to donate the tires and buy proper winter tires like Michelin Alpine, but google ai tells me these are better if the roads are clean so I might drive them when I put my summer tires away.”

“Yep the set on mine are approaching 5 yrs/50K miles since being put on and tread depth is averaging 4/32". Will be replacing them in the next few months and no doubt will go back with the same exact thing. Definitely the best performing/most even wearing tire I've had on any vehicle for decades regardless of brand.”

“I replaced my Goodyear tires with the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus about a month ago. I live in South Florida so I cannot say how they would handle snow, but they are great for dry and wet traction. Just did a 900 mile road trip and the new tires make my Honda Civic Touring feel like a different car. So much quieter and smoother than before. Tires handled hours of rain at highway speeds beautifully. At one point the highway was covered in so much water that an SUV next to us started hydroplaning and ended crashing into the dividing wall, but we were able to just slow down a little a continue driving. I think they are worth the money. Maybe wait for a good rebate deal from Continental . Good luck!”
