Tires Continental or DEBICA

I got continental run flats on my Buick. 4 years old. I had a small hole patched up like 2 or 3 years ago, thats about it, they been holding up very well ever since.

I just went through this debate with myself and went for the conti DWS 06 plus tires. They are still brand new, but I'm happy with the choice. What swayed me to get these over the AS4s was more than one review mentioned that the AS4s had a "distinct road noise" that was ever so slightly noticeable when driving.

I’ve owned both AS4 and DWS 06 and would recommend the DWS 06 for your use case. better wear characteristics and more grand touring / balanced street comfort vs performance compared to AS4. AS4 is a fantastic tire - but I would only run it on a performance car like GTI, R. It was overkill on my Alltrack. I liked the ride on my GTI with AS3+ a lot though. I’ve ran the DWS06 on my gf’s JSW TDI for 3 years 30K miles now and they look new, barely any wear. I also live in Philly and the DWS are super forgiving in 235/45/17. Much more than the AS4’s I had in 235/40/18 on the Alltrack.

I recently got some continental extreme contacts dw 06 plus. I noticed a much better ride and grip than the pirelli tires. The tire chirp is noticeable less than before.

Continental ExtremeContactSport DWS 06 Plus I just put a new set of the above (225/40/18) on my Winter wheels which are VW OEM Sevilla. They came on the 35th AE Jetta GLI. I had the DWS 06 and 06Plus on my MK5 and MK7 GTI - love them for an A/S tire. They are quiet, ride nice, superb wet grip, excellent dry grip, pretty good in Midwest snow.

Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ is the answer you are looking for, but its not on your list. Best all-around performance all-season on the road. Great in the dry, the wet, and snow, warranteed to last 50K miles, and shouldn't break the bank.

I’ve bought ultra sports before on aliexpress, came with the box and is no diff visually and physically feeling it in comparison to my worn set. There’s no other way I can verify.

In terms of riding, feels the same as my previous set.

I've got the Continental CrossContact RX's on mine and I've been very satisfied. 20,000 miles in 16 months with no issues. Amazingly quiet, I intend to replace with the exact same tire when the time comes.

Maybe I'm just luck as far as flats go, but I've never really been pleased with the ride and grip trade off for something like the 4 Season compared to something more in the "performance" category.

Not caring about rolling resistance is one thing, but something like a GP5000 (or similar tire from whatever brand,) just rides better.

One of the best mods I’ve done in my car so far is Motegi wheels in 17” and Firestone Firehawk.......the stock Contis suck!
