I need tires

[K4fxd]

Potenza RE980AS+
DWS06 Plus
PS4 A/S

Which would you pick and why. I like the PS4's but are they worth the extra money?

I've had all the models you note and all are great - just different. Last summer I stopped using UHP AS changed to Falken FK 510.for it's wide temp range, great ride, and quiet ride plus more consistent delivery through life span.

UHP AS only give up 5% performance to UHP Summer in max conditions mainly deliver wider temp operating range. Most are done by 6/32 when they get noisy, ride degrades and start tramlining.....with OE sizes anyway.

They're all great tires I just buy what's on sale with max 1 yr old date code.

I've got my first set of the DWS06's. They seem to be solid tires so far. Some suggest that they've got softer sidewalls, but if they do, it doesn't affect daily performance. I'm very happy with them.

Just put on the PS4 A/S and love the tire. Got caught in freezing rain and they handled it like a champion. I was worried about losing performance with an all season but honestly they grip and go beautifully.

Seriously, it’s really a toss up based on what you feel is most important. My personal choice is Michelin. I’ve never had a bad experience with them. But if you’re not buying immediately keep in mind only the Conti’s are made in the US.

Continentals on my SHO, Audi, and F150. I can't say anything bad about them. When the S550 needs new, that's what it'll get too.

Those Conti's are great tires for what they are.

I'm on my second set of DWS06+ and am about to purchase a new pair of rears. Until I switch wheels and start running a square setup, I'll keep using the Contis. Value/performance is amazing. I had Michelin AS3 before, and liked them but couldn't justify the additional cost for a daily driver.

I have the DWS06 Plus' and love them, but I can only compare with the original equipment Pirellis which were awful. My car is stock and it's my commuter car, so there's that.

Conti's for Me!

always loved Conti’s but currently a Goodyear fan…also made here, and the USAA discount makes them a no-brainer

Honestly, although the Goodyear is decent, it’s no much for the Conti’s and has a higher cost.

then you aren’t comparing apples, Conti extremes are 100 more per tire than Supercars…before the discount

not bashing Conti…loved them on my Tsi and VR4

Your right. Supercars are UHP summers, right. We are comparing All Seasons. That would be the Goodyear Exhilarate.
