Continental ContiExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus 295/45 R20 114W

The Continental ContiExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus tire is positioned by the manufacturer as an all-season model, capable of maintaining its working characteristics in any weather. Nevertheless, as tests have shown, the tire is most effective on dry and wet asphalt, as well as in European winter conditions. The model belongs to the premium class of high-performance tires, whose scope of application includes sports cars, passenger cars with powerful engines, and luxury SUVs.

The tread is an analog of the previous model. It also features pronounced asymmetry and non-directionality. In the central zone, there are two ribs - one wider, the second - narrower. Equipped with a large number of slots of different directions, they contribute to the speed of transmission of efforts from the steering, increasing the maneuverability of the vehicle. It is the multidirectionality of the block structures that allows the car to maintain stability during maneuvering (numerous tests that the tire has passed, both on public roads and on racing tracks, confirm this). An important addition is the three-dimensional self-locking lamellas, the effectiveness of which is especially pronounced on slippery surfaces.

The use of siliceous components and vegetable oil in the compound has made it possible to maintain the elasticity of the tread elements in a wide temperature range.

An important difference from the previous model was the closer placement of the block structures to each other. The manufacturer took this step to reduce wear. And to control the latter, the same indicator with three-level control is provided, which reports not only on the uneven wear of the tread, but also on the possibility of using the tire on slippery, wet and dry roads.

Key Features of Continental ContiExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus

- high-speed all-season model for sports cars;
- the more dense placement of block structures has positively affected the reduction of overall wear;
- high accuracy of steering and quick response due to the special structure of the central part of the tread with a large number of gripping edges;
- reinforced sidewalls and the presence of layers of more durable nylon make the tire more rigid, improving the quality of handling at high speeds;
- special compound composition with silica and vegetable oil maintains its elasticity properties in a wide temperature range;
- the original wear indicator warns of its unevenness, as well as the possibility of using the tire on dry, slippery or wet surfaces.
