No personal experience but they do look promising. The original Extreme Contact was great and the new DWS has more technology built in so I'm curious to hear what other have to say. I like that Continental went with the asymmetrical (nondirectional) tread pattern.

What do you think about the tread wear indicators?



Consumer friendly indicators alert drivers about tire's performance level in Dry, Wet, and Snow conditions.
DW indicates tire is tuned for optimum performance (D for Dry, W for Wet, S for Snow)
When indicators disappear, tire is no longer tuned for optimum performance in that particular road condition.

I'm considering a set of these myself. I've had a few sets of the older contiextreme's and was very pleased.

I'm also looking to take advantage of this for the free gps. lol.

Anyone here have these, any opinions yet?

i went ahead and placed my order for them...ill let yall know what i think...
however i normaly dont do alot of agressive driving and dont go to the track..so it will just be regular everyday driving feedback...

lol...the free navi was a deal closer...not that i need it but it may come in handy...

continentals conti tourings i think youre talking about scooter.

i have a set of the regular extremes (non dws) also on my gs300 right now and im more than happy with em, didnt have a chance to test em in the snow yet since i got them on early this year but rain/dry is perfectly fine for me for daily highway/city street commuting. im awaiting a set of 18's soon and def. looking at the dws's when they get here.
