Considering multiple options for new tires, but having a hard time deciding. Pilot Sports seem to be the universally loved option, but found strong reviews for the Continental ExtremeContact DWS and they are quite a bit cheaper. Anyone have experience with either one of these tires?

Appreciate any help or guidance?

 

Hey I just got a 2016 A7 with 20 inch sports package. I have the new 265/35R20 Continental Pro TX all season tires on them. They are super smooth, quiet, and very comfortable tires. I like how they handle with the turns and on the freeway.

If you want the DWS, WAIT till May. The new DWS06 version that replaces the DWS will arrive.

 

I have the DWS's on mine and they are nice tires. Very quite on the highway and get good ratings in the wet and in light snow....which I need.

 

Update.: I dumped the Contipro contact TX tires. Too mushy and soft with sloppy handling despite smooth ride.

I got the 275/35R20 Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 tires and IMO this is the best tire I have ever put on any car! I have always been buying Michelins! It transformed my Audi A7. It made it sharper and a proper German Autobahn sedan with great handling and smooth ride without any compromise. Super quiet and very sharp tire. I DONT recommend the cheaper DWS. You get what you pay for. The DWS vibrate and flat spot easily with sitting overnight and temperature fluctuations on 3 of my cars that I got rid of them within a week. They cannot get balanced properly with road force machine. They have sloppy and soft handling and prone to bubbling easily and getting damaged. Avoid DWS please. Get the Pilot Sport AS3.
