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.
I'm at 4 sets of XL rated Conti DWS06+ now between 2 sets on my former '13 Golf R & the sets currently on my '20 S3 & '17 Alltrack & I've loved them for year round true all season use. Never used them on a 2WD vehicle but absolutely zero complaints on my Haldex equipped rides I've had them on in dry/wet/snow/ice/slush, hot/temperate/cold.
I run the Continental DWS06+ on my Mustang and have been very happy with them. They're not quite as sharp as the Michelin Pilot AS3 that they replaced, but that's ok for my daily driver. Adding 2 psi over the factory recommended pressures helped firm up the steering response and ride enough to keep me happy.
I went from stock-like tires (Atturo TrailBlades, P275/60r20) to Nitto Exo-Grapplers (LT275/60r20, E-rated). I lost approximately 1mpg highway, 1.5-2 city.
They're notoriously bad tires. Slow and slippery, and the puncture protection isn’t even that great, so they’re mostly overpriced.
