As the new M2 came with Pirelli max performance summer tires and I live in the (usually) frozen tundra of the north, I wanted a more year round tire.

I have run several sets of the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS over the years and have found them to be a great AS tire (grip, ride quality, handling, low noise, decent light snow traction).

I had a set put on today. I went with the stock size of 275/35/19 front but I did increase the rears to 295/30/20 so as to have a bit more sidewall and rim protection. The approved max width rim for the 285 is 10.5 inches and the 295 is 11 inches so as we know the 285 is a bit stretched on the stock wheel 10.5 inch wheel.

As for sizing, the 295 is about 3/10" taller and 1/2" wider with a slightly taller sidewall as well (3.4" to 3.5").

Oh yeah, and they are very reasonably priced.

Good choice. The DWS06's are good tires!

I've been running those as my "winter tires" for two months and they've been decent in the cold. They have a very clear dry grip limit though. Haven't tested them in snow or ice. I can't wait to go back to PS4S in the summer though.

I've run them on all the wife's SUVs and never needed winters but then again we are talking AWD.

If I had to drive this year round in any weather I would likely have spent the $$ for dedicated winters, but since we have a little AWD SUV and this is kind of a fun car I figured the A/S would be a decent tire for when we need it.
