“The ExtremeContactTM DWS06 is the evolution of our very popular, ExtremeContactTM DWS,” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for Continental Tire. “This is the ultimate UHP, all-season tire. We’ve maintained excellent snow traction while making improvements in wet traction, dry handling and tread life. This is a tire enthusiasts will really enjoy.”
