Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
The community generally views the DWS 06 Plus as one of the best ultra-high-performance all-season tires. Owners praise its wet and dry grip, ride comfort, quietness, and light-snow manners, and many compare it favorably to the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, often at a lower price. Criticisms include inconsistent tread life (some report about 25k miles while others get 50k), balancing difficulty, soft sidewall or squirmy feel, noise as the tires age, and the fact that they are not a substitute for dedicated winter tires.
“Apex VS-5RS 17x9 on Mk. 8.5 Just had my Apex 17” wheels shoed with Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus XL tires in 245/45/17 size. I’ve only driven it a few miles but the ride quality is definitely superior to the OEM wheel/tire combo on bad road surfaces. Wheel color is Anthracite. For anyone in the Westchester / Yonkers / Bronx area I highly recommend The Wheel Doctor for fitments.”
“I have 4 of the DWS, manual transmission. I drive spiritedly most of the time. I just replaced the back two last week (at about 24,000 miles), because I didn't rotate them. The fronts still had 7-8/32nds of tread left in them. The traction light came on briefly the next day while entering the interstate. For the few miles to the next exit, the car seemed to sway as if in high winds, leading me to check the lug nuts, even though I witnessed the tire tech torque them the day before. Then I remembered posting here after the original 4 were installed that the the car felt like it was driving on Jello. I believe this is due to the tread design for snow and rain. The "wiggle" takes a while to go away, after some tread depth loss. Because of this, I will be replacing them with something else in the next wear cycle. I guess it's time to consider 4 new wheels for winter all season tires instead of riding on all season , all year.”
“Back in the day, I ran summer tires on an MK5 GTI and swore I’d never do that again, as I only got 20k miles out of them. I’ve had 3 other GTIs since and have always run Ultra High Performance All Seasons with zero issues. On my MK7.5 , I’m currently running CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT DWS 06 PLUS and absolutely love them! They’re probably the best tires I’ve run on the 4 GTIs I’ve owned over the years!!! 👍🏾 BTW… I’m in Northern California, where the seasons don’t hit like other parts of the country. 😅”

Community sentiment toward the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is mixed to moderately positive, with owners praising its strong wet grip, dry handling, and competitive pricing. However, several users express concerns regarding tread cracking, quality control defects, high-speed road noise, and moderate snow capability compared to competitors.
“I went with Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 due to the amount of miles I do and the varied weather conditions at the time I drive. They work great and have lasted 25k miles with 4mm of tread left”
“It seems that neither Continental Allseasoncontact 2 nor Turanza AS6 are available in United States as of April 2024.”
“I just bought 4 of the Bridgestone Turanza AS6 from Kwikfit cause they had a decent deal on for my Kia Sportage Hybrid GT Line S. With 4 wheel alignment was £620 and i have to say not only very impressed with the tyres and how the car handles but with kwik fits service”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
