The
ExtremeContact DWS (DWS for Dry, Wet & Snow) is
Continental's Ultra High Performance All-Season radial
developed for drivers of sports cars, sports coupes,
performance sedans and sport trucks. The ExtremeContact DWS
is designed to satisfy their year-round driving needs by
blending dry and wet road performance with light snow and
slush traction.
ExtremeContact DWS features an advanced silica-based,
high-grip, all-season tread compound molded into a unique
asymmetrical tread design with stable shoulder blocks and a
continuous, notched intermediate rib on the outboard side to
enhance responsiveness and cornering stability. The center
of the tread features independent blocks separated by
high-angle, criss-cross grooves to provide the biting edges
necessary to deliver wet road and light snow traction while
independent inboard shoulder blocks help disperse water to
further enhance hydroplaning resistance and foul weather
traction.
The ExtremeContact DWS features Tuned Performance Indicators
— visible letters molded into the second rib from the
outboard shoulder to alert drivers of the tire's performance
levels. A visible "DWS" indicates the tire has sufficient
tread depth for dry conditions, as well as wet roads and
light snow. After the "S" has worn away, the remaining "DW"
indicates the tire only has sufficient tread depth for dry
and most wet road conditions. And after the "W" and "S" have
both worn away, the remaining "D" indicates the tire has
appropriate tread depth for dry conditions only.
The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts
reinforced with spirally wound jointless nylon cap plies to
provide long-term integrity under high-speed conditions
while reducing weight and helping to provide more uniform
ride quality.
