I just put a set of Continental Extreme AWS Tires on my 2006 Cayenne Titanium Edition. These tires are Amazing!. After 2000 miles - no real wear showing.

Let me start by saying I have owned 2 Cayenne's over the last 5 years. Each time I replaced my tires with the OEM Michilen Dimaris Tires @ 300 each.
Treadwear would vary from 9K to 17K before I was back for more. Overall a fabulous performance tire - but with a very poor treadwear rating. Also the ride was not exceptional.

Looking to break the cycle, i stumbled upon these http://www.conti-online.com/generato...ct_dws_en.html

They have the XL load rating needed for a 6K truck, and come in high performance 245x20 sizes and most of all a treadwear rating of 540!
What this means is you are warrentied for 50,000 miles.

Ok now to the tires, I am totally delighted with these tires. The Ride quality is way better than the Mich. The grip in wet is phenomenal. The grip in Dry seems as good as the Mich if your not on the track. AND there even rated as snow tires..

Simply.. Go check these out! I'm thrilled so far.

Looks good. How much are these running?

Yeah, this was on my list when I was looking to replace the tires on CS, too. But I ended up getting the Yokohama Parada Spec-X instead...

I guess I'll try 'em after Yoko.

When buying tires, my first choice is always Continental. Have never had a bad tire yet.

I have the Continental Extreme Contact DWS on my Cayenne. We're a few thousand miles into it, and I love them so far. Very quiet and smooth.

I've put a set of Crosscontact AT's onto mine. Very pleased. Quiet for an AT.

Funnily enough, they're quieter than the 4X4Contact that came with the car. These had an audible rumble on roads that were less than smooth.

I found these at the Tirerack for $215.00 each! Not bad. I'll keep them in mind when I need a new set for my 2006 Cayenne S Titanium Ed.! Thanks for the review!

I use the same tire for winters here in MD. Not as sharp as the 21" stock Yokohama Advans, but good overall tires that do well even in deep snow.

We have had ours in snow a few times this winter, but nothing deeper than 5 or 6 inches. They performed well.

Our winter in MD this year provided plenty of opportunity to test out the Cayenne and the Conti Extreme DWS in the snow



You can sort of see the tracks going up my steep driveway there. The Cayenne on Contis trucked up it before I plowed it.

I was just looking at the Continental website. I can find Extreme DWS, but no Extreme AWS tires there. Am I missing something?

wirunner

That's what the original post meant (DWS not AWS).

So any takers on your P!g?

Dennis C

I assumed it was a typo... the link he originally posted was for the DWS.

DUTCH Vanatlanta

Not yet. I did reduce the price after talking to my dealer about pricing realities.

So even though these are car tires, does the XL load rating make them compatible with the cayenne. Maybe this is why they seem to work better since they are not truck / suv specific tires.
