Default Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 feedback?
does anyone currently or has run the Cont. Extreme Contact all season performance tires on their lexus to give me a good review? I am close to buying these for my IS300 for the 19" Verde Axis rims. I really wanted the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+, but they do not come in the size I need for the wheels.

I hear someone who had them that they are very loud and noisy and wasnt quite happy with it

appreciate everyone's thought on them

I had the opposite review ahahah. I had a noisy and loud experience with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+s, had them on for a couple of days before i switched them to the DWS 06s. They sound just as quiet as the stock tires and they are very smooth. I made a post about them and a lot of people didn't have issues with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ but everyone has a different experience!

I had a similar experience to that of the poster above me. when they wear out I'll likely get another set.

I'm currently on Continental sets, so far no noise. I hope they do last longer than Michelin but they're summer tires too.

I run them on my 4GS. I will be buying another pair when they wear out. I live in NE Ohio and I love the snow and icy grip performance. They are also awesome on dry and wet pavement too.

Coming up on my 4th summer with my DWSs and just now noticing a little noise. Nothing harsh but after all performance tires will get noisier when they get worn. Will buy another set when needed.

Loving mines! Great traction in snow and ice! It feels as if the car is glued to the road

Odd, i find my DWS06 (235/35r19) loud... they're louder than my Pirelli Ice Zero FR snow tires (225/40r17). I know for sure i'm trying something else after these tires wear out.

I'm rocking the DWS06 on my summer wheels, 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. I'm happy with them, it's pretty quiet and good dry/wet traction. Can't comment on snow performance since I have a dedicated wheels/tires for that.

by the way since you guys are all owners of the DWS06, anyone running 19s on any wheels with +38 off set can comment if it rubs in the back?

Im running 19” Lexus OEM wheels with a 265 rear tire not sure about offset. But the DWS-06 are great. The car is lowered on RS

Big fan of the DWS 06. I have them on our three family cars. Needless the say...they are great tires. I feel they're a bit more spongy (softer sidewall = weight savings = MPG bump) in the turns compared to summer performance tires. Road noise is the same or less than OEM.
I've driven in deep snow, ice and heavy rain with zero issues.
