I've put DWS06 on my past three vehicles from my daily, to a beater, and now my Z. Best all season performance tire you can get if being able to drive under 40° while having summer performance in the warmer months is what you're looking for. The tread wear is way better than some of the stickier tires out there too and I've found on a stock Z, these tires do hold their own. Can't praise them enough and definitely worth every penny extra.
Reviews of Continental parts For Business
Germany
I have those Continental tires. I like them, but I might not be the best tester. I do spirited drives on the weekends. They're good on turns but I recently started spinning on launches (bought tires summer 2017). Lots of road noise, but doesn't bother me. I bought my car with those tires and bought them again. I have nothing to compare them. That being said... I would give them an 8/10.
They are comparable to the continental road attack 3 , but they are cheaper and last longer , road attack is supposed to be more sticky , but that extra stickyness come in handy only if you have a bike that's significantly stronger than the SV imo.
Continental DWS, best tire for the money in my opinion
So far I think the continentals transition response actually matches MINIs personality better, despite it having lower absolutely grip.
I’m rocking Conti PureContact LS’s on my 14 hatchback and they’ve been awesome
Mines a daily driver and I run continentals for snow and heavy rain. The only way your slipping with them is if your trying to.
I like the Continental kits on Rock Auto. They use all Japanese bearings (same as OEM), great belts, and a great pump. It’s basically OEM. $175 for the kit. Also, don’t forget to change out the cam seals and crank seal while you’re in there (might as well do both drive belts too). I did my 3MZ and was super happy with it.
Michelin MXV4 to Continental DWS
DWS superior in everyway except getting bubbles. It would bubble at every pothole. Went to Michelin Premier A/S it was a downgrade in everything except bubbling still better than MXV4
I hate my current set of DWS06, just got new set last week and car has been shaking like a one hour hotel room bed. 1 tire was showing a 40 on road force and could not be balanced. New one came in next day and car still vibrating 70 and above.
