Vredestein Quatrac vs Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS — Compared

“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.”

“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.”
