The ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS tire is designed for high-performance vehicles, including sports cars, coupes, sedans, SUVs, and CUVs. Its goal is to improve various aspects compared to its predecessor, such as braking on dry and wet surfaces and traction on snow and ice. The tire is specifically built to provide confident handling and high-speed capability even in inclement weather conditions, including light snow. To achieve these goals, Continental has made several enhancements to the tire. They have used a performance-tuned all-season tread compound and an updated asymmetric tread design. The addition of SPORTPLUS+ Technology further enhances the handling and braking performance. The tire also features Macro-Blocks and Chamfered block edges, which contribute to improved dry road traction and cornering responsiveness. Additionally, generous high angle and circumferential grooves help in evacuating water from the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. The incorporation of 3D sipes increases the number of biting edges for better wet traction, while the X-Sipes improve grip in inclement weather conditions. The ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS tire offers unique features to aid in performance and maintenance. It includes an Alignment Verification System that detects vehicle misalignment early in the tire's life, helping prevent wear patterns. Tuned Performance Indicators, visible letters on the tire, indicate its performance levels and suitability for different driving conditions. For example, the letters "DWS" indicate appropriate tread depth for dry, wet, and snowy conditions. As the tread wears down, the letters change to "DW" and then to "D," indicating suitability for specific conditions. Continental has also paid attention to durability and longevity. The tire incorporates a high-strength, 2 ply sidewall construction, addressing concerns of damage. A Sport Sidewall Insert adds to the tire's handling responsiveness. Additionally, the brand's triple action, hybrid cap ply improves handling characteristics while maintaining a smooth and quiet ride. This helps optimize the contact patch, ensuring even wear and longer tread life. In summary, the ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS tire by Continental is an excellent choice for drivers seeking high-performance all-season tires. It offers improved braking, traction, and handling capabilities, particularly in inclement weather conditions. Its advanced features, such as the Alignment Verification System and Tuned Performance Indicators, provide added convenience and monitoring. With its durability and longevity, this tire ensures a smooth and safe driving experience for a variety of vehicles.
