Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS vs Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 — Compared

“Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus are THE standard for a reason for high performance all-season tires. They have been the best for years and all other brands are only just now catching up to them. If you don't care as much about performance in dry then yeah the CC2 are a fine choice. Personally I deal with bad winters so I run DWS06 Plus as my summer set and then in the winter I switch to my Vredestein Wintrac Pro XL set on dedicated wheels. I run all-seasons in the summer in case we get some early ice/snow before I've swapped sets but nothing beats dedicated winter tires when you need them. Given, I live on a mountain with steep hills and a dirt road, I regularly deal with snow deep enough to high-center the car. If you don't deal with those conditions you can probably get away with all-seasons okay.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Potential issue with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6? I recently installed a full set of Goodyear eagle F1 A6’s to my Golf GTI, since then I’ve noticed a really bad vibration through my seat at speeds around 70mph, at first I thought it was balancing so took the car back to the workshop and had them checked, the guy said they were fine, drove it again and same issue, I then took it to another place to double check, the guy said they were .5g out, no buckles, but still the issue is present, I’m starting to get a bit pissed off with the tyres at this point, my only option now is to submit a warranty claim, but first I have to buy a new set and I only get my money back if the original tyres are defective, does anyone have any experience with these tyres? Maybe it’s just that they’re super firm tyres but they’re so uncomfortable. Read more”

“Ah, now I remember -- available in the Taycan staggered 21" but not 20". (Some of these staggered setups seem like a conspiracy to induce madness via tire model available! Our i4 is the same way...)”
