swabby Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I am considering replacing the OEM Bridgestone tires with Continental Extreme Contact DWS. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossGS350 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hey Swabby, I have a 2008 Lexus GS350 (RWD). Last Fall, I opted for the Continental Extreme Contact DWS, as I was NOT going to face another Ohio winter with the Sumitomo ultra high-performance summer tires that came on my car; might as well have been driving on ball bearings with those. Chose the DWS based on Tire Rack reviews and videos, and was able to get a very good deal at Discount Tire Direct. The DWS was FANTASTIC through the winter; not once did I have any of those "white knuckle" moments that I was used to experiencing, and they did surprisingly well on ice and even moderate snow. Although they position themselves as a all-season tire, not sure that I would want to use them as a "year-round" option as they do not ride quite as smoothly in the dry (in my own opinion), but overall I am extremely happy with them in my GS. Hope this helps. Good luck! Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my03sc430 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 HI I also have them on my '03 for 18 months now. I get the usual momentary flat spots if the car sits for more than a day, but other than that I like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
