UHP All Season vs UHP vs 200tw Track Tire Test! Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ vs Sport vs Force!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

There is a snow comparison of an ultra high performance all season tire vs ultra high performance summer tyre vs a winter tire on SNOW coming this fall so be sure to subscribe for that :)
Having trouble deciding whether you should get an ultrahigh performance all season tire (UHP AS) or a summer tire? Or perhaps you're trying to decide whether you're ready to setup up from a UHP summer tire to a extreme performance 200 treadwear track focused tire? This is the test for you!
In this video we look at the differences between the new Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ UHP AS tire, the Continental ExtremeContact Sport summer performance tire, and the new Continental ExtremeContact Force 200tw extreme performance track focused tire.
The video was filmed in Uvalde in Texas, and all three sets of tires are tested in the wet, dry and comfort testing.
We look at the lap times of each tire, the subjective handling, steering response, and how enjoyable driving the Ford Focus ST test car is on each set of tires.

    Had the Conti DWS from this test for about 6 Colorado winters. Surprisingly very remarkable in terms of ice and light snow traction. Great evacuation for slush. Obviously not going to be great for deep snow, but given the car the tires were on we’d never have taken it out in the midst of a storm anyway. But with these you could confidently set out anytime after the first lows do their thing.

    I put a full year on DWS 06s in my NC Miata. They were great in snow for an all-season, though admittedly, the rears still had new tire smell when the snow hit. When summer came, I basically melted them off. That's probably being a bit too unkind, but one of my fronts is about to show chords at 13 months and 25k miles. Probably half of that wear happened in the last 4 months. They were fast enough to keep up with my buddy's Mustang. I just ordered a set of ECS 02s, and I'm excited to see just how outrageous the body roll will be.

    Again, a great review! The fact that you were able to get the 3 different performance tires from one manufacturer was awesome. I am currently running the Continental DW, which is the earlier version of the Continental Sport, on my F56 JCW and, once again, your results for the Sport are spot on to my expectations for an up graded version of the DW. I recently “tested” the DW in the monsoon rains we have been having here in the NE area of the States. With standing water and at highway speeds I had no issues; no hydroplaning. A very confidence inspiring tire. Glad to hear the Conti Sport did equally well or better. I am also impressed with the DWS results. Again, glad to hear I have a viable option for the JCW for the 3 seasons here where the DW/Sport is less desirable option.

Steering feel is noticeably reduced though. I'm enjoying the comfort and they should last a lot longer than the summers. The summers were probably noisy as they were down to 3/32 tread depth - I still think they are quieter though.

    Follow up - I love the DWS 06+. Fantastic tire! For road use, they are about as good as it gets unless you want a snow tire for the winter. Agreed though, that they aren't meant for the track. I autocrossed with them a twice and their side walls are too soft, and they got too hot pretty easily in late spring and summer. Grip is good, but easily outclassed by most all summer tires.

I went with all-seasons because I take long road trips fairly often and can face dry heat one day and snow and ice the next. The Continentals have been a great choice for the car and I’m looking forward to getting the Dunlop winter tires off after the last frost in April and putting the Contis back on.

    DWS06+ vs DWS06 The DWS06+ get a solid 9.0 out of 10 overall. A summer tire is about a 9.5 or 9.7 in dry and wet conditions. This tire is so close to being perfect it's amazing. I loved those Nokian WRG4 especially for winter but they moved around the moment they hit warm wet roads. Now I'll be purchasing the Michelin PSAS4 for winter duties. In Maryland our weather is literally identical to the UK most of the time, just a bit more sunshine and high humidity in summer. I've done nearly 8k miles since ownership. Something I noticed is that now the front tires actually get good heat in them. The WRG4 would get +4 to 5psi rear while the front only about +2 when warm. These evenly go up and I can tell there's an improvement in tread wear. The DWS06+ tire is definitely chunkier than the outgoing DWS06. They take pot hole way better, way way better. I run 245/40 18 front and 265/35 18 rear as my stock setup. DWS06+ are better than the DWS06 in every way. The only difference I noticed was road noise in the first 100miles or so. Also cold tires they rumble a little but once broken in and warmed up they're quiet. Also if you under inflat them a bit they rumble. I've driven in below 40° f a few days we transitioned in March in April from winter to spring. The tires did great in 30° f. In the wet. Since owning this Mercedes-Benz I've had several sets of tires on this car. The stock ContiProContact, Nokian WRG4 (squared 245), and DWS06. They all had a tendency to move around in the front. I couldn't drive over 55mph safely in the rain. My car is rwd. The DWS06+ track very well even on terrible Baltimore roads in sport. I used to get a weird almost detached rear end feeling at low speeds, and that's gone. I'm assuming the ESP system was kicking in.

    Great channel, thanks for this video! I've been agonizing over this very decision lately. I have a mk7 Golf R, and run summer/winter tires. Where I live, nighttime temps start dipping below 4C/40F in October, and don't reliably stay above that until mid-May. Usually, we don't see snow during before late November, or after March, so I hate to use dedicated snows (X-Ice) for the full 7 months of colder weather. But if I use the summers, I end up a little nervous driving late at night, or going on overnight trips for a few months out of the year, and I'm certainly not pushing the car at those temperatures. So 'fun' season ends up being only 4-5 months long. I feel like I'd get more confident use out of the car switching to A/S tires, but am worried about losing performance and enjoyment. The car came on contisportcontact 5p, and they were quite good in all performance respects. However, they wore pretty fast (down to 3/32 at 40000km), and for the 2nd half of their life, were VERY loud, annoyingly so. I've just pulled the trigger on a set of DWS06+. The price was about 40% less than the PS4S, 20% less than AS4. For the price, I could have chosen something like the Firestone Indy 500 or Falken FK510. What I'm hoping for is lower noise and better comfort than the 5Ps I'm replacing, and good performance in spring/fall temps, hopefully without too big a summer performance hit. Hopefully I've not made a big mistake! One interesting note - the DWS06+ look to be about 10lbs per corner lighter than the 5P I'm replacing. I'm not sure what the implications are for performance and MPG, or anything else for that matter, but it was a surprise to me.

    @@andrewnickds Idk if you figured out your tire situation but you should absolutely go AS. Unless we're talking about a weekend canyon runner, you don't see winter, or wouldn't use winter tires for more than 1/4 of the year; the tiny tiny performance hit from AS is 100% worth it for the sheer amount more usefulness the tire has. It's like being at 100% for 65% of the time vs being at 96% for 100% of the time.

    First of all, Indy's would easily outperform most A/S in the dry because they're a summer compound. lol The Indy's do absolutely terrible in the wet though. I live in the PNW where it's rainy 80% of the year and it was a chore keeping grip with those vs DWS06 / PS3/3+/4 and summers like ExtremeContact Sports & PS4S. Both those summers out performing the Indy's in the dry as well. Indy's are decent in the dry. But for just $100 more in total cost. You can buy a much better tire like the ExtremeContact Sport. Tires are arguably the most important part of a car as it's what is between you & the road. If you enjoy driving and pushing cars. Pinching pennies on tires will only serve to have massive compromises and increase your risk factor exponentially. It's very much worth paying that extra $100.

    @@Peylix The drawback of the ECS is that it has softer sidewalls and the driver might lose some steering feedback and road feel. The Potenza S007A had the same rigid sidewalls as the Indy 500s without the weak wet performance. It seems like the newer Potenza Sport has softer sidewalls more like the PS4S or ECS unfortunately, though thankfully perhaps not quite as soft. If North America does get the Potenza RE004 as a MkII version of the Indy 500, that should improve the weakness in the wet while still having the rigid sidewalls like the older model Potenzas like the S007A or RE003 (Indy 500).

I would love to see a test with this versus the Rival S 1.5, A052, Rt660 etc. If you end up doing that it would be great to have some feedback on how fast the tires come up to temp (especially useful for the Autocross, Sprint Race, Time Attack, Hillclimb crowd).

Wet and hot they work ok. Whats interesting is a cold wet event I did the Yoko A052's seemed to still work and even were close to the Michelin 4S. Love to see you do a 4S vs the current 200tw crop including the A052 but include a Sub 50f Wet test to see just how far back they all are and which ones are better then others.

All season tires sales have grown nearly 30% in Central Europe, where most countries have incredibly hot Summers and even hotter tarmac.
