Thank you so much. The Continental DWS 06+ were tires that I was considering.

 

If you have 20-inch wheels I have set of OE tires off of my '23 GT AWD with very low miles on them.

I think I listed them for sale here a while back (for $400?). Come and get them, for free.

 

Where are you located?

 

Does anyone know how the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+ and the Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+ compare? Is the DWS06+ a slightly better tire? I noticed that America’s tire carries the SRS+ but not the DWS06+ and other places like Tire Rack carry the DWS06+ and not the SRS+. It makes it a little more difficult to compare the two specifications on the same sellers website. The DWS06+ is a little more expensive.

 

I believe the Control Contact is made specifically for certain installers like DiscountTire. The DWS is a slightly better performing tire, the Control Contact is a more affordable option though not much of a difference.

I had Control Contact, 245s. Fine on dry but weren’t that great in the rain but better than OEM and Motivos. I have DWS 275 on all four and have experience a notable improvement over the other.

 

I disagree with some tire choices given in previous posts because of quality and where they are made, like CHINA.
Your choice of Michelin is wise and "you get what you pay for" so don't get cheap!
I don't drive hard but certainly 'spirited' on occasion. I've been very happy with the Michelin Pilot Sports (all season) in the past and the current BFG G-Force (all season) on my Trans Am. I am now using the Goodyear Exhilarate (all season) on both my Mustang GT and 2020 R/T. They are pricey like the Michelins but incredible in all conditions, much more noticeable than the original Goodyears that came from the factory. These are definitely a step above, especially traction, and are Made in USA.
You decide, and again, don't get cheap. Your life and your loved ones are riding on this rubber. Quality doesn't tramline or lose grip at the 50% tread life mark like the lesser brands. ALL tires seem great at first, the the realities set in.

 

I run the Nitto 555’s on my Challenger.

 

Those look sweet. AND they come in 315s....

What size do you have?

 

There is no reason to overpay for Michelin - they're not any better than several other brands of tire, you're just paying for the name.

You need to pick out a tire that suits your driving - if you drive in the rain & snow you need a winter tire, if you're in FLA you can pick out a summer tire.

I have successfully driven in rain and on snow and ice with mere all-season tires, like the DWS06 and others.
A winter tire would be a bit of overkill I think, and those don't work well at all during the other three seasons.

 

I have the BFG G-Force Comp2 A/S+. FRONT: 245/45zR20; REAR: 275/40zR20 rear.
From the sidewall: "Extra Load, Tire wear 400, Traction AA, Temp A, 50psi max, 2094 max weight." The tires are directional which adds a bit of cost to your tire rotations as they should be removed from the rim to switch sides. I also run different sizes front and rear as above.

The car is 2014 Challenger, SXT Pentastar engine and is RIPP Supercharged. It is mostly a summer car in Michigan but has run in rain, ice and snow while heading to warmer climes for winter vacation as well as many rainy days in the summer. I'm very comfortable in the rain with these tires and the added power of the RIPP kit.

I hope this helps.

Just "rotate" them front to back...

 

Firestone INDY 500 is my favorite tire.

 

I really like those, too. But they are no good whatsoever in snow, hardpacked snow, or on ice.

 

No mention of pirelli’s? Are they no good?

 

I am very happy with the Pirelli P Zero all seasons that came on my 2022 SXT. On my favorite "how-fast" corner my Challenger is stable at 95 kph, while my Mustang, on ultra-high-performance Khumos, gets squirrely at 90 kph. They remain grippy down to at least -15 C.

 

And you can get them at Costco.

 

I’ve been watching tire reviews from companies like tire rack. It seems like the Continental extreme contact DWS06+ is a good tire. Much better than the Firestone Firehawk GT tires I’ve had for the last nine years (replacing the tires with the same model about every 30,000 miles). It’s looking like this tire at the most will be a significant improvement over the Firestone. In general, the performance of the Firestone has been fine for me but after nine years, I’m getting a little tired of the harsh ride and the short life of the tire having to replace it about every 2 years. Looks like these Continentals will be a significant improvement in ride quality. I’ve also been concerned about how the Firestone Firehawks would handle light snow since it’s rated very poorly on snow. I haven’t hit snow yet, but I do take a cross country trip every year and there’s always a chance I will run into snow. The lifespan of the Continentals look like it’s about the same as the Firewawks.

After writing this last input, I refreshed the thread and saw that others have added to the thread that I have not read before I wrote this. Looks like you guys have given me some other good tires to consider.
