My new tires arrived 🥰

[michaelluscher]

I bought from Tirerack this time
And I broke my habits, and took their promo credit card for extra MIR money 💰
These are the new and improved ExtremeContact Plus DWS 06 Plus
Tirerack was most timely, from approving me and billing that new credit card, to delivery to my door in less than 48 hours
Total was $666 OTD, plus I'm getting a $140 MIR, and 6 months no interest
Works out to $131.50 per tire, a real deal IMO vs the $160+ list
I could've paid cash, but that deal was worth it IMO

They were all made in April of 22, and all were made in the USA
I'll be taking them for installation when I get some time, wanna do some suspension work first
Because the 4 summers old set of the predecessor non Plus models are getting pretty thin

I found the thread from when I bought these 🤣

Got new tires!

Well, I'd had enough of driving on snow tires/wheels in June Finally got the time and money together, and had the original 17" wheels refurbished (un bent, media blasted, powdercoated) I had a very bad experience with the then new Michelin Premier A/S's I bought at Costco 28k, and they were...

What are you putting those on? They look similar to my Pilot Sport S4s on the Trans Am. They look like a nice tire.

MIR = mail-in rebate?

Yes

My daily driver Camry
This is the summer set
As I run separate snow wheels/tires in the winter

Sounds like you got a great deal. I hope you have a good installer that balances them correctly and doesn't scratch your rims.

There's no packaging when you order tires
Do any other vendors package or box/bag them?

DTD ships them the same. I know TR was bought by DT recently but idk if that will play into it.

You selected well and got a deal! Can’t wait to hear how they work out on the road!

My only experience with Pirelli was a god awful set of OE run flats on a 2018 CTS

I assume they make decent tires, I just haven't had a chance to try from their good aftermarket line

Also these Contis were a little cheaper 🤷‍♂️

Nice tires. That's a lot of crushed tomato's also.

Recently had four Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II tires shipped to me from Walmart. No packaging and shipped loose under 4 separate tracking numbers. All arrived safely within 72 hours of placing the order (delivered on a Sunday as well.)

The old DWS⁰⁶

The new DWS⁰⁶ Plus

Once they break in, and this car gets a badly needed front brake job, I'll see how they stack up

So far, expectedly quieter

 

[FordSVTGuy]

Look great. I love new tires on a vehicle. They probably sound a lot better and restore the road feel too…

 

[RitcheyRch]

Wise choice in getting the DWS06's. I've ran them on many vehicles and have been super happy with them. I will be getting them for my Accord when the time comes.

 

[joekingcorvette]

I have heard good reports about Conti's. A lot of late model Corvette's use that as the go to tire.

I have purchased tires from Walmart, amazon, jet, discount tire. All came as singles with “ups tags” taped to the tire.

I have the 06Plus on both my MX-5 and my Taurus. They are AWESOME.

On the MX-5, the replaced the stock OEM BS S001 tires. The Contis handle every bit as well, and have the advantage of good all season traction, as verified when I had to drive thru snow in CO last year.

On the Taurus, they replaced some stock Michelins (don't recall what model they were, but they were junk). The Contis ride really nice and are very steady under such a large car even at highway speeds.


Not sure what kind of wear they will exhibit, but given all the advantages, if I have to replace them a bit sooner than some other choice, so be it!

I bought many tires from TR. The smell of new rubber is ambrosia. When I brought them into the house like you the base camp commander would bark till I put them into the shed. Got them installed and out of sight pronto. BTW, my experience with Continental has been ++, Pirelli +-
