• good (1,6)

  Conclusion: The Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus offered a generally comfortable road ride, softening larger hits and absorbing smaller imperfections with poise, though with a touch of residual motion. Noise was well-mitigated, and the steering feel was subdued and responsive but not particularly eager or lively. On the wet track, the steering continued to be unexciting and flat, but this was paired with strong traction and compliant, well-balanced behavior, resulting in a neutral and capable performance. The dry track experience was more refreshing, where the tire felt intuitive and athletic, held back only by its somewhat flat steering. During winter testing, it showcased admirable performance, accelerating well and being easy to drive, but it was somewhat unbalanced, as its braking didn't feel matched to its acceleration, and cornering required managing both front and rear grip. | Note: Ranked 2nd out of 9
