Do you guys consider tire weight at all when choosing tires?

Continental DWS06 in colder weather. I have Indy 500s coming this week to go on new Shelby CS11 wheels.
how are you likin those DWS06’s? I was thinking about them but read they have poor grip in dry conditions compared to a Michelin and Pirelli

I think the DWS06's are pretty good tires. Can't compare to Michelin. I do spirited but not 10/10th's driving. They've been fine for me. Wet grip has been awesome. Drove 9 hours in pouring rain and not one issue. Hit good sized puddles and it plowed right thru nice and straight.

Thanks for the reply- yeah I heard the performance in bad conditions is great, just sacrifices some dry conditions performance. I’m like you I don’t do 10/10ths. Are they better than the pzero’s in the dry summer time?

No. Weight more relevant to Rims not the tire itself. Can't see much weight being saved between different tire manufactures. I could be wrong.

Yeah that’s what I was wondering, tire weight doesn’t affect rotational mass the way rims do? Continentals can save about 3 pounds per tire. They seem to vary about 1-4 pounds between manufacturers so if it anything like rims I would think that would make a difference

I have Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ on all 4 corners. No complaints. One thing, for strictly street driving is there a good alternative for the rear? A good grippy A/S but cheaper. They rears wear out quicker than the fronts for some reason... lol.

I would say they are similar to the Michelin A/S 3+, with the Michelin slightly winning in warm/hot weather and the Continental winning in cold weather. Both are better than any all season Pirelli I've experienced.

OP, my preference would be Michelin P4S first. Didn't have any my size and a I needed a tire that would hook good but still drive-able in the rain. I went with the Mickey Thompson Street Comps......not to be confused with the Street ET. I have no complaints so far.

Thanks that’s actually really helpful. I was wondering if these are a good all season upgrade from the Nero’s

You are welcome. I had all three on the VW Golf. I currently have the Continental DW06 on the VW and the Michelin A/S 3+ on the WRX and they both are handling the Colorado weather quiet well.
