The ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS is Continental’s Ultra High-Performance All-Season tire designed for drivers of sports cars, performance sedans, sports coupes, SUVs, and CUVs. Engineered to outperform its predecessor, it offers enhanced braking on dry and wet roads, along with improved traction in snow and ice. This tire provides responsive handling and reliable high-speed performance, even in light snow, making it a versatile option for various weather conditions.
The tire features a refined, performance-focused all-season tread compound paired with an updated asymmetric tread design, utilizing SPORTPLUS+ Technology for enhanced handling and braking. Macro-Blocks and chamfered block edges boost dry road grip and cornering precision, while high-angle and circumferential grooves channel water efficiently to resist hydroplaning. 3D sipes maintain precise handling while adding biting edges for better wet traction, and X-Sipes improve grip in lateral and longitudinal directions during challenging weather. Traction grooves within the circumferential channels further enhance snow-to-snow grip, improving winter traction.
The ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS is equipped with an Alignment Verification System, allowing early detection of alignment issues to prevent uneven wear. Additionally, Tuned Performance Indicators offer real-time insights into the tire’s capabilities. The indicators, visible on the second rib from the outboard shoulder, include "DWS" to signify sufficient tread depth for dry, wet, and snowy conditions. When the "S" wears away, "DW" confirms suitability for dry and most wet conditions. Once "W" and "S" are gone, only "D" remains, indicating that the tire is only fit for dry roads.
Built with durability in mind, this tire includes a two-ply sidewall for enhanced resistance to damage and a Sport Sidewall Insert for sharper handling. Continental’s advanced high-strength, triple-action hybrid cap ply combines the rigidity needed for better handling with the flexibility that ensures a smooth, quiet ride. The optimized contact patch promotes even wear and extends tread life, making the ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS a dependable and long-lasting option for performance-driven drivers.

It handles really well in my BMW as well- it sticks well around quick turns. 8 years committed to these tires and have purchased probably close to a dozen sets - They
