Tread Wear Indicators:

Consumer friendly indicators alert drivers about tire's performance level in Dry, Wet, and Snow conditions.

DW indicates tire is tuned for optimum performance (D for Dry, W for Wet, S for Snow)

When indicators disappear, tire is no longer tuned for optimum performance in that particular road condition.

Dry Performance

ExtremeContact DWS has a unique "chamfered edge" technology for dry performance. This dry road surface technology generates greater acceleration grip, handling and braking traction in dry conditions. Solid outer shoulder and chamfered pattern edges concentrates on a maximum surface contact resulting in increased traction.

Wet Performance

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS has a high void to tread ratio with enhanced groove curvature which improves water evacuation for outstanding wet handling. Void to tread ratio means the amount of void area in the tread vs. the amount of tread pattern making contact with the road surface. This void allows water absorbed into the pattern and then quickly evacuated.

Snow Performance

The Continental ExtremContact DWS has an excellent grip on snow covered roads provided by the extreme number of biting edges and a new feature "Traction Grooves". Continental Tires engineers designed the extreme number of biting teeth inside the grooves. These biting teeth keep the packed snow from sliding though the grooves adding a grip to an area of the tire. This new feature is unique to the Continental ExtremContact DWS.

Dynamic Temperature Distribution

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS has industry leading treadlife combined with lower rolling resistance and improved energy delivery to the road surface. This outstanding combination of traction, long wear and reduced rolling resistance is accomplished through "Dynamic Temperature Distribution".

We currently do not stock the DWS in size 235/50-18 but we can special order a new set in for you. There is no additional charge for special order items and lead time is typically 2-3 weeks to your door. As you may know, shipping and sales tax is free for FL. residents :biggthump That said, our current mail order price on the DWS in size 235/50-18 is only $178.00 per tire. As always, we do guarantee the lowest delivered price so if you have found a competitor with a cheaper delivered price let us know and we'll beat it.

If you would like to place an order with us please give us a call at 1.888.459.4080. Just make sure to mention to the sales agent that you are a member here so the site receives credit for the sale.

I hope this information helps.

Can do. I'll probably wait to get these tires as the current ones on the vehicle still have some life on them. Not to mention, there may be a rebate that might be available or a special offer running before the time I actually need them. These tires are each running about $50 more than what I currently have. I assume there is still the 6 month no interest option with the Car Care One credit card. Thanks for the information!

Any idea if there's going to be a rebate for Continentals anytime soon?
