Always exciting to test out new tires! I've been looking at these and the Michelin's for possible replacement after my VentusRS3's are done.
 
I'm running a set on my GTI and really like them. Winter gave us a pass this year and didn't show up, so I can't comment on them in the snow, but they are very good in the wet and dry.
 
Had to same tires on my 2W drive Silverado. Made wet roads a little more tolerable. The side walls are nice looking too, not alot of business in the sides.

I've heard those are really good tires. Will probably get a set when I need new ones.

I run Blizzaks on different wheels in winter. These should last awhile.

Agree on side walls. Clean attractive looking tire!

From all the research I have done that was my conclusion as well. I have been running Continental for the past 10 years. First time on this model.

I put this exact model on my 2014 Mercedes CLS-550 about 10 months ago and they are definitely the best tires I have ever owned.
Across the board they do very well. I am certain you will love them too!
 
For whatever reason I have 3 black X's showing up but it sounds like they are Conti's, great choice and I assume DWS06's?
 
Nice new sneaks! What's the sidewall look like? Looking forward to your review of them!
 
Getting them mounted up tomorrow. I'll get some sidewall shots. They are clean and simple. Not busy. Which I like!

Run these on my 09 MB e550. Best tire to date on the car. Although I do get pretty quick tread wear with them (car is lowered a little, and about -1.5* of camber front and rear) but the toe is set dead on in the front, and is -.30 drivers and -.21 passenger in the rear. So a little bit of toe-in in the back, but shouldnt be too bad on wear. Currently only getting about 25k a set out of them. Your mileage clearly may very, as MB are pretty hard on tires from my experience!
 
We have those exact tires on the wife's f sport Jeremy. They are at 4-5/32 currently after 22k on the rears, I consider them a success considering we can't rotate. They have been good for traction in multiple heavy downpours to date. You will like them I am confident in that,

I have looked at the Michelin pilots for hers as we will need rubbers by summer at the latest if not sooner. It is a tough choice. Have you run any others besides the factory junkets

Great to hear! No, just the stock Bridgestones. I have about 30,000 on them and the rears are still good but fronts are bad. Getting an alignment and car is in the Lexus shop as we speak (type). Thanks for your input!

They should last long being I run winter wheels/tires during the snow season.

You've got my exact setup. Blizzaks will be coming off this weekend and the Conti DWS going back on for the third summer.

I like the Contis but I don't love them. They were on my S4 when I bought the car. When they wear out (probably after this season) I'll switch to Michelin Pilot Super Sports which have more grip and are much more predictable when cornering hard. But the Contis will serve you well if you don't get crazy.

You'll love the PSS on your S4. Turn in is amazing, especially if you have some front end suspension bits. :)
