PSS vs Conti DWS

Dog Face Pony Soldier · 04-23-2015, 03:11 PM

I just removed my Continental DWS (winter tires) and reinstalled my Michelin PSS tires and I felt compelled to post. The difference between the two tires is not subtle. The PSS are so much more comfortable to ride on! Plus the PSS are lighter, so it feels like I just removed ankle weights. So much better!
If you are considering PSS, do it. They really are some great tires. That's all.

PSS are indeed the best there is. I've got them on my F32!

Conti go flat performance tires are great also. The Contact series are awesome, but pricey.

Are the PSS run flats?
My stock tires need a change.

No Pilot Super Sport tires are go flats.

You'll need to buy an inflator kit (Slime is very good), and if you are at all handy, you can pick up a Dynaplug kit from Amazon to plug your own tire when on the go. This is for nails and such.

Over the past 27 years of driving I have found that a simple compressor gets me home 99.99% of the time.

I have the Conti go flats and love them especially since they were significantly less than the Michelins. I also saw an article a while back that the Contis were going to be the new OE tire for the M3.

Conti DW are great tires too. I actually prefer them over the PSS. Sidewalls feel stiffer and they're better in the rain.

On my s2000 I've ran those two tires and the Dunlop Star Specs which were out of this world performance wise. I killed them in less than 10k miles though haha
