Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS vs Vredestein Quatrac — Compared

“New Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus on 2023 MYP (pics + first impressions) After a summer of traveling to visit family and kids on AAU travel teams it was time for some new rubber. Looked down at my rears a few days ago and saw the threads on the inside of the right tire. I used the Tesla community here on Reddit and locked in on the DWS. PepBoys was able to get them in less than 24 hours and even offered a 10% discount. I definitely noticed a smoother ride so far and I would argue a bit more traction. I’ve only had them on for a day so I’ll have to see how much range loss I’ll experience and if they perform better or worse when pushed. I think for $1,500 dollars installed I didn’t do too bad. Plus I believe I have a quality replacement from the OEM that my MYP came with. Anyone else running the DWS06 Plus on their MYP? How’s your long-term wear or efficiency? Read more”

“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.”

“23 Model Y LR....just did my first tire change at 41k miles from stock Contis to Vredestein Quatrac Pro+. Better all the way around, no foam. There is not much of a road noise difference, maybe a bit louder going over concrete sections on some highways. I don't buy into the foam theory. Noise comes from tire composition and tread hitting varying surfaces. Every tire will give a different sound and sound level, foam or not.”

“Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ Experience?? Has anyone had experience with Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ tires? I got them off Tire Rack because they are supposedly EV rated... only to later find out there are specific Quadtrac EV tires (not listed on Tire Rack). I know I'll have a hit on range on my 2022 Bolt EUV because I have the original Michelins on the front and Quadtrac+s in the back but it seems very unpredictable (only reason for this is that old fronts were in VERY bad shape and wanted two new tires for safety with a 2year old).

“The last week or so here we have received about 12-15 inches of snow. I have these on my 2003 Forester and must say they dig through the snow very well. The only thing that I have found is that they seem a little slick when stopping. Don't stop as well as the Blizzaks on the wife's Galant, but then again they are not a dedicated winter tire either. Have put about 3500 miles on them since July and must say for an all season tire they have performed well in all conditions.”
