Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus 255/40ZR20 255/40R20 101Y XL High Performance a/s All Season Tire

Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus

OVERVIEW

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus is a high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Continental offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. This model is EV-Ready, meaning these tires are compatible with both electric and traditional vehicles.

This model benefits from the tread’s optimal road contact to lower road disturbances while tires are in motion. The tread consistently follows the driving surface, allowing the footprint to channel airwaves and prevent them from coming into contact with tread elements. The airwaves do not generate tread noise, reducing the overall road disturbances heard in the vehicle’s cabin. It allows the passengers to enjoy a noise-free driving experience.

The tread design and the strong compound materials promote a longer tread life. This tread design balances out load and driving pressure across the tread area in order to prevent excessive pressure build-up in one spot and avoid irregular wear. Premature wear formations are resisted, as the durable compound materials slow down the overall treadwear rate. In this manner, the tire offers phenomenal usability and service life.

The detailed asymmetric tread provides a high number of biting edges to the driving surface to enhance controllability and driving stability at high speeds. The specially designed tread elements allow the tire to respond faster and more precisely to the driver’s instructions. It greatly improves the cornering and braking power, enabling the driver to control the vehicle with confidence at high speeds. The compound prevents heat build-up and keeps the tire in its optimal shape all the time, providing a safe high speed driving experience.

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus utilizes its compound materials and detailed tread elements to promote exceptional traction on dry, wet, and snowy roads. The compound optimizes rubber flexibility in both summer and winter-weather temperatures. The circumferential and lateral grooves eject water and slush from the footprint, preventing the vehicle from hydroplaning in rainy and snowy conditions. This offers a better and safer year-round driving experience.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
