What A Difference 4 Tires Make

The dealer installed the Continental staggered DWS06 Plus tires on my 19" AMG wheels yesterday. They look good and ride well.
I've listed the Continental runflats on the Marketplace forum. Like new condition. A real buy for someone who wants OEM tires.

Hi. I am new here (apologies for this question if its answer is obvious) but I have searched and can't find 'Marketplace'. Could you offer a link or a guide, please?

TIA!

Runflats are awful. Good move.

Go to the homepage of mbworld and scroll down past all of the various models until you get to the Marketplace forum. I think this link might work.

...
I am looking to replace the low mileage P-Zero's that came with my car. They were only put on earlier this year by the previous owner, but I don't like the noise from them.

I also want a high performance all-season tire as I will drive it on a winter day, but not after a snow fall or road salting. I am considering the DWS06 Plus, but want to make sure that they won't also be noisy after just a few thousand miles.

I put 25K miles on a set of DWS06 tires on my C7 Corvette. I did not notice any noise issues. I don't know what differences there are with the newer plus model. I also had a set on my wife's RX. Put over 30K miles in them. No noise issues.
