    The new Continental ExtremeContact Sport

    Looks like we have a much more worthy contender to the PSS compared to the older DW model.

    Interesting. So now they've matched the Michelin PSS, just in time for Michelin to have their PS4Ss to come to market.

    I wonder how these compare to the DWS 06s in price, lifespan, and performance.

    The new Continental ExtremeContact Sport

    DWS is a totally different class compared to these new ExtremeContact Sports.

    The only thing the DWS will be better at is snow and winter weather. The ExtremeContact Sport will feel so much better than any high performance all season tire in the dry or wet.

    I ran with DWS on my M3 for a year and then to PSS. There is no similarity other than they're both black and roll over the ground. Haha

    I'm liking the look of these. Price isn't bad either. Too bad my DW's are still fresh.

    Which apparently isn't being made in less than 19" sizes at the moment as far as general selection goes.
    Tire Rack's site shows the only 18" they have is 245/40-18. LAME. A quick search revealed that our sizes may not be available. I really hope this changes in the future...

    In the magazine article I read about the PS4S it stated it would take them through most of 2017 to roll out most of the sizes to replace the PSS. Glad my PSS are still relatively new!

    Huh, I didn't think there'd be a shortage on sizes, but it makes sense though.

    TIRERACK.com - Revolutionizing Tire Buying
    While I highly enjoyed my set of these tires, I will not be buying a second set.

    Usually with the square setup on the zhp, I was able to replace the rear tires twice and keep the front tires. But the issue is that as the tires wear down they have become really noisy. The rear tires are at the wear indicators and the front are halfway worn. The letter that say DW are gone on the rear and the front say D ( this is a wear indicator from the manufacturer of the tires ).

    So the only logical option is to replace all 4 of them. And at the price point they are the new Michelin pilot sport 4s are not that much more expensive.
