Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS vs Continental SportContact 7 — Compared

“I’m running the Conti ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus (say that 3 times fast!) all seasons in MA. Last year was my first winter with them, passed with flying colors and much better than the Pirelli Scorpions on my F15 with the N55 and a light tune. If you’re running summer tires you’ll either want to swap for these for year round or go with a dedicated summer / winter setup. I don’t like going that route as you know we can have mild winter weeks or months in New England and I don’t want to be forced to drive on winter tires for half of the year waiting for winter to come.”

“I've had PS4's on my last three cars. Great tires , but they do wear. I've also had two sets of PS4 All Seasons and been less than impressed, overall. After the advice of a significant number of people in various forums, I purchased a set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 Plus, ultra high performance all seasons. These have exceeded all my expectations, and in the wet or dry, are so close to the standard PS4's that I was shocked. I even know of people occasionally tracking with them! Never in my life, prior to this, could I have imagined an "all season tire" ultra, or otherwise possibly being worthwhile, but I am blown away by the performance of these!”

“2.0T + Cont Extremecontact = win Replaced my stock tires at just shy of 35k miles with Continental Extremecontact DWS06 plus tires....my oh MY what a difference! Even when brand-new, the stock michelin all-seasons would spin out every time I'd try to launch...no longer an issue/these feel like a dream. I feel like I'm driving a completely different car now. Far better corner handling/lane changing as well, and they honestly seem to have less road noise as well. To anyone who feels they don't have enough grip/handling on their 2.0T, these are the answer. Haven't had the chance to test in heavy rain yet (or snow come winter), but I'm sure they'll handle well. 10/10 after about a hundred miles or so (likely not even "broken in" yet) Read more”

“On my 2nd set. Got decent mileage from them. 15k miles from the first set of rears and i've 11k on the 2nd set with 4.5mm still left on them.”

“Just took the factory SC7’s off my gfs puma ST, they are super grippy, they feel even stickier than the PS4S on my car but I’d say they are less predictable at the limits and I always felt like they tramlined a bit too much and they weren’t a very comfortable tyre. Fronts have just under half their tread left after 11000 miles. Swapped em out for conti all season contact 2’s as she needs to be able to go out during any conditions and she doesn’t want to have two sets.”

“and they don't have Bridgestone tyre model in both sizes I need. I guess it means I'm back to Camskill and consider either Turanza 6 Enliten or Conti Sport Contact 7. Both got good scores on TyreReviews.com. I could get whole set of Turanzas from Camskill, whereas with Continentals, I would need to buy rear ones elsewhere”
