Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS vs Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S+ — Compared

“I have these same tires on my SL 550 and my wife's GLC 43 AMG. The tires are wearing great so far. Smooth ride on both vehicles. I have around 16,000 miles on the set on my SL 550 and around 18,000 miles on my wife's SUV. Plenty of tread life left on both sets. 19" wheels on the SL and 20" wheels on the GLC. Both sets are staggered, so no rotating of either set. Will definitely buy these again when needed.”

“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 ran the dws on my 700whp corvette ZR1 for 5 years . Never a problem and wear really good . I’ve tracked them in the qtr mile and roll racing . They hooked pretty good ls at the track . Had a 1.60 sixty foot on them”

“Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ Tires shot? Hello all. Question for you, I got these in June of 2021. (KIA Forte5 EX 215/45 R17) They have 28,500 miles on them, and are rated for 55k miles. I hit a nail and went to Discount Tire to get them plugged. They said the tires were shot (even though they have 4mm left on them) due to chunking. I bought them at the dealership I got my car at, and they also confirmed they were shot and needed replaced. However, the dealer only covered them with a 2 year warranty, so won't help to replace prorating them or anything. Both places said it looks like I either ride on gravel roads often or corner too hard. I live outside of Raleigh, no gravel roads... and I don't know that I've ever corned too hard, as I never hear them squeal nor would drive the fool with my daughter and/or wife in the car. Is it worth contacting Yokohama? Is something else wrong with my car? Am I doing something wrong? If I were to get new all season tires, what would you recommend? TIA for any info / advice.”

“18x8 +40 with 245/40/18 Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ Parking lot pics shortly after install.😎 So far so good - will give more feedback and better pics after logging some miles on them! Went with the 18x8 +40 Liquid Metal Shadow rim with a 245/40/18 Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+. I had to find a daily all season combo... And was on short notice!😅 Last week, I had to ditch the stock configuration... I had a screw in my driver rear tire, a few days later an air bubble in my driver front, and then the car was still wonky after two new tires. Turns out a nasty pothole, unbeknownst to me, slightly bent the passenger front rim. Decided it was time to go with 18" rims and a more durable tire to survive the roads year round.🥴 Read more”

“If you want a very good (Michelin or better type), smooth, quite, great in rain, longer lasting tire and less expensive, get the P7 A/S Plus 3. If you want a tire that is more performance oriented that is the same plus, get the Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+. The Yok handles excellent and impressive and is going to last longer than all the other performance tires. The P Zero AS 3 just is a bit better than the former P Zeros which all wore out super fast. There is already comments from some that used it longer term that it in fact wore extremely fast still. It's labeled as a "Ultra High performance" tire.”
