Continenatl Extreme Contact DWS Tires
Does anyone have experience with Continental Tires? Specifically the Extreme Contact DWS?
I just purchased 17x9 and 17x7.5 wheels from a '93 928 GTS to mount on my '87. I'm hoping to fit 255/40's and 225/45's. I do not know what tires work well on a 928 and any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

I have had nothing but bad luck with continental tires. The belts tend to separate prematurely. I have had it happen 3 times so far. Now I do not buy continentals.
Just a personal experiance, maybe someone else has had better luck.

255/40's and 225/45's is the correct fitment for those wheels.
I've heard nothing but good things about Continental Sport Contact 3 tires..

7.5 works on some Porsches, but I don't see it as a wide enough option for a 928.

Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec can't be beat for the money. They are awesome tires and I run them on the twin turbo and on my Audi Quattros.
