It's a great tire I had a set on my 1971 camaro no issues at all
I replaced the run flats with Continental Sure Grip right of the rip. World of difference in ride.
Continental extreme contact I think is what my bf has on his little Audi sedan, and we got thru last winters blizzard with ease. All I know is they are hard to squeal cause they won’t slide!
Yeah I too have ran both Michelin AS3+ and PSAS4, and 2 sets of Continental DWS06 (the original and another set of the "Plus") and I choose the DWS06 since they are a little more comfort oriented, a little less summer performance oriented. Have not had any real complaints about any of them, besides maybe my AS3+ getting noisy as they wore down but they dont make or sell those anymore so it's a moot point. Love the treadlife on the DWS06.
I've run the Michelin AS3+ and the Conti DWS06+ , I greatly preferred the DWS06+ in daily driver situations. They were softer riding, and felt much more confident in the rain/snow and were fantastic with evacuating water. The Michelin were better as a performance tire in the spirited drives and such, but for me that was .5% of the time and I never regretted the Conti's. I've never had a long term positive experience with Pirelli tires and personally wouldn't purchase a set.
I’ve had the DWS06+ on a couple of cars now and they were great, no complaints. Good grip in wet/dry/light snow and not noisy.
It has been my go to tire for last 8 years. Very happy overall, but I also dont have any experience with other brands you mentioned. I like them, "if it is not broke dont fix it" mentality
I've had Michelin PS AS3+ on the C300 4Matic, Conti DWS06 on the E46 M3, Michelin PS AS4 on the E46 M3, Bridgestone RE-980AS on the E550 and Michelin PS AS4 on the E550. Main reason I haven't gone back to the Conti is twofold- one, they're not much cheaper than the Michelins if you buy the Michelins on sale at Costco; two, I have to use an alternate tire dealer and I've had good luck with Costco in general.
Haven't used them in the snow yet but Discount Tire will match Walmart's $146.00 price on the 235/50/17 Continental Pure Contacts. I've had really good luck with Continentals on my Edge, Taurus and Fusions. They've been OK in Michigan winters but nothing spectacular.
That said continental trail/endurance casing is shit and probably worst tires I’ve ever had on wet roots/rocks.
