I was running OEM Continental Conti-seal Pro-contact and was not very happy with price. Went through two sets and had issues with road wear and durability (slightest potholes wreck the sidewalls) so I decided to get a set of the Continental ProContact Extreme DWS. I got a great deal on them w/ a 70 rebate to boot. I find them far superior so far. Great dry/wet traction. Minimal road noise. I had them paired with a new set of Niche Targa 18's... hit a pothole in the first week (cant tell you how freaked out I was at impact!) but they kept going just fine. No sidewall damage, no bent wheel (compared to OEM wheel). Cant tell about winter though as I run winter wheel setup. I would recommend you check them out.
I am currently running Continental ContiSportContact 5P. They are even stickier that the ExtremeContact DWs I had on my W8. I have two summers on them and do not have any cupping, I have only have been rotating front-back.
bought new conti dsw had them mounted and balanced and the shaking begins 69-78 mph balanced three times and then road force determined three bent wheels, bought new wheels (same style) put on same conti dsw tires. Shake continued not as violent speed 72-76mph. balanced tires twice and then road force determined bad tire. continental warrantied tire and sent new.
Just put on four new 18" Conti Extreme Contact DWS tires on it and the ride is smooth and so very quiet.
the Contis (ContiProContact NON Eco Plus) that came stock on my '14 Jetta were utter crap. Couldn't balance them despite multiple shops and Road Force, etc. Replaced with el cheapo Hankooks and it was like a new car, smooth as silk.
Stock Contis are history at 30K The roaring inside the cabin due to cupping has become unbearable, so I wear foam earplugs and my shooting muffs over them.
I had a set of 4 matching Continental tires with about 90% tread left.
The DWS seems to work fine in everything.
They did fine, not a great performing tire but for the price they aren't bad at all.
My biggest gripe was that you can't tell how much life it has left in the rear, since it had a smooth center. I just noticed mine showed cords one day.
Conti Motions might be the worst tire I have ever felt on any supersport ever.
