Continental Extreme Contact DW

[forcedinduktion]

The PSS hook really well in dry and even wet conditions. I've driven pretty hard on them when it was raining out and they are very confidence inspiring. They are also very smooth to drive it.

The only thing that I don't like is their soft sidewalls, even the stock dunlops felt better and more responsive when shooting into a turn. As far as performance, despite the soft feel they still handle a lot better than the dunlops. The other downside is they are expensive, but should get some great life out of them.

I didn't get much life out of the PSS which is why I went with the cheaper DW since I was gonna burn through em anyways. The PSS did have stronger sidewalls than the DW, but the softer sidewalls do make for a more comfortable ride during regular driving conditions.

Softer sidewall helps with traction though. Even with a good compound, a stiff sidewall wouldn't grip as well as if it had some flex to it.

DW + air bags gave me my car back - 2nd gear is dialed down to 22.5psi and hooks most of the time, 3rd gear tapers up to 24.5psi and does great. Rigid sidewall tires were spin city and very frustrating.

Yeah I don't know. I have 225 40s on them. The wheel is flush with the tire there is like no lip on them at all. I should have been more careful as well. I only have done it once.

Yeah with the rsb I prefer to keep the tire pressure the same all around because it gives the car a more neutral feel...to be honest there is no correct answer for the tire pressures its what the driver prefers
