2019+ Wheels and Tires

Here are a couple of my cars with snow tire setups.

Here is the snow tire setup on the 2021 GT

16x7.5 Sport Tuning ST7 50mm offset 17lbs, 215/55r16 snow tires

Finally mounted the Sport Edition A15-2 wheels and Continental DWS 06 plus tires. The rims are 17x8 48mm offset and the tires are 235/45ZR17. There is about a 1/2 inch clearance to front strut and 3/8 inch clearance to rear shock.

I have a couple tanks of gas on the Continental DWS06 plus 235/45/17 so I feel I can give my opinion. For daily street use I don't think very many people would find the limits of this tire. On a track I am sure the Michelin PS4 or PS4S would edge it out but for the 7/10ths the majority does on the street that will never be an issue. Straight line traction seems a little easier to manage with the throttle vs the PS4. The PS4 does do a slightly better job of taking the sharp edge off bumps, almost like it magically rounds them off. The biggest difference I have noticed is the DWS06 has much more road feel, you get feedback on every road imperfection that you don't with the PS4. So that is good and bad. If you want to be isolated the PS4 does a slightly better job, If you like to know exactly what the tire is doing at the contact patch the DWS06 does this better. I do get a slight bit more torque steer in some situations, not sure if this is just from a wider width or the tire design itself. I am not going to lie, if I was rich I would have bought the Michelin PS4S but for 4 tires they are $1020 vs $690 for the Continental DWS06 plus
