Would you consider this tire for the occasional track day? We don't want to have dedicated summer, winter tire sets. Won't drive the car in snow, but would like a tire that can safely operate in temps under 40 degF if on occasion we encounter colder temps on an extended road trip. Would park it if we ran into snow, or other detrimental conditions until things cleared up, but if roads are dry, but cold, it would be nice to have a tire that handles that, as well as the typical summer performance. We know there'd be a level of performance compensation required, but these sound like a perfect compromise. Thanks for posting this, and glad you made it home safely.

Like some other people who have posted on this thread, I decided that I wanted to be able to drive my car throughout the year. I live in NE Ohio; we get lots of damp and wet roads.

These DWS-06 Plus tires are noticeably quieter than the Michelin PS4s tires in the same sizes that were removed from those wheels with the rears at the end of their service life, but are not as responsive to steering inputs, all as expected, but the PS4s tires are impressively quiet given their overall performance orientation. However, the Continental A/S tires are not lacking in traction. I've recorded 0.97 G cornering on dry asphalt in 75F ambient conditions and the road was shaded from the sunlight, and 0.98 G when trying a simple stop then mash the throttle with the PDK in Normal mode with the car feeling slightly squirrelly, and neither time did the tires make any squealing noises. So, i don't yet know the maximum G-force capability of the Continental DWS-06 Plus tires. I'm guessing that bit of squirrelly behavior was due to the traction control/stability control intervening slightly although I did not see any flashing lamp in the dashboard like I have when tracking my car and pushing the limits in some abrupt vertical transitions in the track pavement which cause the car to slide. Ride quality is good on most pavement, arguably more compliant [as expected] than the PS4s at the same inflation pressures [30-32 front, 35-37 rear set when tires are cold at about 70 F ambient in my garage], but upon some pavement irregularities the Contis actually seem to be transmitting more dull impact thud back into the chassis. The differences will be immediately noticed by anyone who has grown used to driving "sportily" on hilly, winding back roads on their Michelin PS4s, especially the steering response which is slower and not nearly as linear. But after driving on the Contis for a while, you will adjust your inputs accordingly. These DWS-06 Plus tires have demonstrated in Tire Rack's own testing to be excellent in the wet, including in a slalom test, beating most other tires.

I wanted to consider Michelin A/S and Goodyear A/S tires but neither brand had High Performance All Season tires available in the sizes that I needed. I definitely did not want to install runflat [zero pressure] tires despite that type of tires having been majorly improved since they were first introduced.

I will likely choose another set of Michelin PS4s tires for the OEM wheels [8.5x20 front, 11.5x20 rear] when the Pirelli tires are worn out. They may age out before I wear them out.
