I don’t have an S5. I have an A7. I had the Pirelli’s just put the Continental DWS06 Plus on and in my opinion, they ride way better.

Pros: ride way better
Vehicle: Audi A7

The DWS06s are great all-season tires but are a bit softer of rubber, if you live in the south where its routinely over 100 degrees (even hotter on the pavement) i'd pick something else as a summer tire. I ran them on my 2014 Mustang GT year round and had no issues getting anywhere in the snow.

P.S DWS stands for Dry Wet and Snow and can be determined based off which of those letters are still on how deep the tread is

Pros: great all-season tires, no issues in snow
Cons: softer rubber, not ideal for hot southern summers

I've been getting good service, tires and otherwise, from Firestone for literally decades. Many locations for ongoing service needs and access to history, good road hazard warranty protection, relatively good with appointment timing.

Pros: good service, good warranty, good timing

The factory continentals were, by far, the WORST snow/wet tires I have ever had on a vehicle in 30+ years of driving. Hoping the all-seasons I have now fare better.

Pros: all-seasons fare better
Cons: worst snow/wet tires

I had the PureContact LS before these. The PureContacts were slightly quieter, and also slightly smoother on roads, and because I didn't take the Extremes to the extreme, I can't say if/how much better they are at handling, but on paper they should be.

I would have stuck with the PureContacts, but I had a very unfortunate puncture that was unserviceable, and they don't make them anymore.

Pros: slightly quieter, slightly smoother
Cons: unserviceable puncture, no longer available

I’m using the Continental 5000 TR S 32mm running tubeless.

Everytime I ride I get a puncture! It’s crazy and not sure why. I used one of the tire calculators and it has me at 68psi front, 70 rear.

Rode with a buddy couple weeks back who has the same tires and he got a puncture so bad on the rear it wouldn’t seal, we had to put a plug it.

I might try lowering the pressure and see what happens. Tires are new…

Cons: frequent punctures, difficult sealing
