The ExtremeContactTM DW has pushed the envelope in performance with completely new technology exclusive to Continental Tire. The ExtremeContactTM DW delivers excellent traction and responsive handling in both wet and dry conditions, improved ride comfort, all while delivering better mileage at industry leading rolling resistance levels

Benefits:

*Enhanced performance in dry conditions.
*Improved water evacuation for outstanding wet handling.
*Reduced distortion for enhanced energy delivery, lower rolling resistance and improved treadlife.
*Consumer friendly indicators alert drivers to tire's performance level in Dry and Wet conditions

Tread Wear Indicators:

Consumer friendly indicators alert drivers about tire's performance level in Dry and Wet conditions.

DW indicates tire is tuned for optimum performance (D for Dry, W for Wet).

When indicators disappear, tire is no longer tuned for optimum performance in that particular road condition

Dry Performance

ExtremeContactTM DW has a unique “chamfered edge” technology for dry performance. This dry road surface technology generates greater acceleration grip, handling and braking traction in dry conditions. Solid outer shoulder and chamfered pattern edges concentrates on a maximum surface contact, resulting in increased traction.

Wet Performance

The Continental ExtremeContactTM DW has high void to tread ratio which improves water evacuation for outstanding wet handling.Void to tread ratio means the amount of void area in the tread vs. the amount of tread pattern making contact with the road surface. This void allows water to be absorbed into the pattern and then quickly evacuated.

Dynamic Temperature Distribution

The Continental ExtremeContactTM DW has industry leading treadlife combined with lower rolling resistance and improved energy delivery to the road surface. This outstanding combination of traction, long wear and reduced rolling resistance is accomplished thought “Dynamic Temperature Distribution”.

Continental's website does not claim the DW as an all season:
Continental USA Car / Light Truck / SUV -ExtremeContact™ DW

but does for the DWS:
Continental USA Car / Light Truck / SUV -ExtremeContact™ DWS

Anyway, you guys sell both at a good price but just wanted to make sure anybody interested in an all season went after the DWS not the DW.

hey Mosc.....what kind of tire do you run during the winter. I'm just trying to find a decent all weather tire that wont suck too bad in the snow.

I really recommend a winter tire for the winter, not an all season. Winter tires are not all snow tires. Many of them use all season tread patters except the compounds are more appropriate for cold weather. To me, temperature is a very important reason to have 2 sets. Tread compounds designed to handle a variety of temperatures (all seasons) handle none well. Cold weather tires are not all crap on a dry road, especially on a cold day. All seasons will get very stiff below freezing, snow aside.

That said, I use a performance winter tire. Not a dedicated snow tire. Bridgestone LM-25. Don't buy those though, they're being phased out.

Whoops Typo! Edit made to the OP.
