What mileage are you getting with Conti Extremem DWS?
When I bought my CPO it had Pirelli all season tires. Don't know if the rears were original but I had to replace the rears at 25K and should have replaced them sooner. The wear was fairly even, with the inside edge showing 2/32 and the outside 4/32. I had the rears inflated at around 39 psi and I check them monthly.
I picked the Conti's DWS because my son has used them on his car and got good mileage and they had great reviews. I reduced the pressure to 36 psi to get more wear on the outside edge. However, with 10K on the tires I have 4/32 to 6/32 tread left. Now it looks like the inside/outside edges are wearing about the same but the center has the thinnest tread, indicating I need to reduce the pressure a little more.
So has anyone else used DWS and what mileage do you get on the rears? The car has only 35K but I'm thinking that bad toe-in on the rears might be accelerating wear.
