Continental 15499750000 ExtremeContact DWS06 215/40ZR18 89Y XL All-Season Performance Tire

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 is a Ultra High Performance (UHP) all-season tire engineered for drivers who demand year-round capability without compromising handling, grip, or responsiveness. Built around Continental's proprietary SportPlus Technology, this 215/40ZR18 tire delivers confident traction in dry, wet, and light snow conditions — all backed by a 50,000-mile tread life warranty.

An advanced silica-enhanced all-season tread compound is shaped into an asymmetrical tread design that maximizes dry road contact through chamfered edges while maintaining aggressive bite in variable weather. Twin steel belts reinforce the internal structure for long-term durability at high speeds, making this tire equally at home on a spirited weekend drive or a daily commute in the rain.

Key Features:

• SportPlus Technology — promotes exceptional handling, extended tread life, and strong grip on wet and slippery surfaces
• Traction Grooves — additional pattern edges deliver reliable snow traction in light winter conditions
• X-Sipes — enhance braking, cornering, and acceleration performance in rain, snow, and icy conditions
• Alignment Verification System — visual indicator alerts drivers to potentially misaligned wheels before premature wear occurs
• DWS Tuned Performance Indicators — molded into the outboard shoulder rib, these indicators reveal remaining performance levels in Dry, Wet, and Snow conditions as the tire wears
• Black Sidewall (BSW) construction with XL (Extra Load) rating
• UTQG: 560 A A — above-average treadwear rating with excellent traction and heat resistance grades
