Tires Continental or DEXTER

Tire upgrade is the single best purchase you can make for this car. Continental DWS 06 tires truly transformed the driving experience.

got the Continental DWS06plus, so far they’ve been exceptional in the wet weather. Also, quieter than the uniroyal tiger paws.

The DWS06 is the second best on the market, but it’s probably not worth 75% more than the best in the budget category (the kumho), especially on a mazda3

The dws06 is one of the best tires on the market.

I am now on a set of continental for the winter. (And they run better than the all season khumo, go figure), but I'll look for those hankook next spring!

And they fit great, just like hawkbyte and Firebyte said they would

I live in the northeast and have used the dws and the pilot sports over the years. It’s been rather mild here lately the last few years but I never had a problem with getting around in either of those tires.

I just got the Continental DWS06 plus on my M3P and I am surprised how good they are compared to the summer Pirellis that came on it. Very reasonably priced too.

Maybe I just got lucky. I used to always get Michelin's, but my CC came with Conti (Pro Contact I think), so went for them again, and then picked another Conti that is a little sportier (not DWS06, just PureContact LS), and they have been OK. Steering feel hasn't been as good as with Michelin, but I did not experience any problems.

I am still not impressed with these tires. I'm just about to hit 14k miles on these tires and they are some of the worst tires I've had. Definitely going to replace them before winter. We average 6-8 inches of snow every winter and these tires are like race slicks in the snow.
