Conti DWS 06 Plus?
I got 36k miles out of my PS 3+ A/S and looking at the updated DWS.
Anyone have experience with this updated line? I'm trying to stay with UHP AS tires since this vehicle is mainly driven on the highway and I put a priority on wet performance. I just don't like the tread design of current summer tires.

I ran them on my '04 325ci & loved them this year. Had enough grip to get me through a freak spring snowstorm, were quiet and comfy on the highway & very stable in the rain as well.
I will most likely be putting a set on my 435i once I get new wheels next year. |

Pros: much less road noise, bumps don't feel as harsh and much smoother feeling Cons: there is a little bit of delay in steering input, mainly due to the softer sidewall. Immediately noticed it after getting on the highway with the new tires. But so far so good- I am happy with the purchase. Wanted the Michelin PS4 AS but they are on national back order so got the next best thing. |

But having run dedicated sets of summer and winter tires for the past three years it would take a lot to get me on all season tires, which are inherently a compromise. Summer Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and winter Michelin X-Ice Snow tires have the best grip in dry, rain and ice (winter tires) that I've ever experienced. |

I have DWS+ on my 18's for the three seasons. I agree with some turn delay, but overall they are great and do great in the wet.

Summer tires are almost pointless for my current application. I have little to gain from the closed block design.

Yeah if you're just cruising highways then a summer isn't going to benefit you at all though PS4S do perform very well in rain.
