  • All-season passenger tire for coupes and sedans
  • Enhanced performance in dry conditions
  • Improved water evacuation for outstanding wet handling
  • Increased traction in light snow conditions
  • Easy-to-read tread wear level indicators

Excellent Tire!

Bought for RWD Infiniti G35 Coupe. Performed admirably during the blizzards of 2010-2011, up hills, down hills and cornering (driving properly in the snow and ice) with no drifting, nor getting stuck on grades. Also superior wear on this car's heavily cambered suspension, after 10,000 miles minimal wear has occurred. Tires grip very well in the wet and in the dry there is no significant sacrifice in responsiveness or grip.

Have used many brands of tires from Goodyear to Bridgestone to BF Goodrich to Falken and Kuhmo. These live up to the description - EXTREME CONTACT Dry Wet and Snow.

The Continental DWS is marketed as a ultra-high performance all season. This tire replaced the Bridgestone Potenza RE92 (OEM) in my 2008 Subaru Legacy GT 5EAT. Out of nearly all the ultra high performance all season tires, this has the most aggressive tread designed for light snow conditions. It does have some drawbacks such as it's soft sidewall. This can be remedied by slightly upping the tire pressures. However, it does what it advertises and does that for a great price compared to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and the Bridgestone Potenza 970AS which are two very good offerings within the ultra high performance all season class.
