Re: Continental Extreme Contact DWS... a winner in my book
7000 mile update on my Conti DWS tires. Bought them in June. Took my car into Discount Tire this morning and asked for my tires to be rotated "side to side". The technician at the counter said he's never heard of that, and it would be to no advantage. At that point I asked the manager why he would have said that about the "side to side". He said that "he was new' and he will advise him". Long story short ... know what you're talking about and press on. They rotated the tires and put checked the ari pressure to specs, and measured the remaining tire tread depth. After 7000 miles, the fronts have 8/32nds and the rears 9/32nds. That's great! I again asked about the 50000 mile warranty on the tire, and was advised that it has become an unwritten guideline that if you have the tires rotated "side to side" every 6 to 7000 miles and keep the pressure at fastory specs. they will take care of the customer if they wear down to the wear bars within the 50K mileage and the proper time of use. The warranty requires that the rotations be in their system in a timely manner. We'll see what the future holds........
