The Continental Extreme Contact DWS work outstandingly in all weather conditions, I have them on my E63, and I couldn't be any happier. They also have a great wear rating of UTQG 540. So they will outlast most if not all other comparable tires. You can't go wrong with these, not to mention a nice tread pattern, befitting of an AMG. a little more about these amazing tires. The ExtremeContact DWS (
DWS for
Dry,
Wet &
Snow) is Continental's Ultra High Performance All-Season radial developed for drivers of sports cars, sports coupes, performance sedans and sport trucks. The ExtremeContact DWS is designed to satisfy their year-round driving needs by blending dry and wet road performance with light snow and slush traction. ExtremeContact DWS features an advanced silica-based, high-grip, all-season tread compound molded into a unique asymmetrical tread design with stable shoulder blocks and a continuous, notched intermediate rib on the outboard side to enhance responsiveness and cornering stability. The center of the tread features independent blocks separated by high-angle, criss-cross grooves to provide the biting edges necessary to deliver wet road and light snow traction while independent inboard shoulder blocks help disperse water to further enhance hydroplaning resistance and foul weather traction. The ExtremeContact DWS features Tuned Performance Indicators — visible letters molded into the second rib from the outboard shoulder to alert drivers of the tire's performance levels. A visible "
DWS" indicates the tire has sufficient tread depth for dry conditions, as well as wet roads and light snow. After the "
S" has worn away, the remaining "
DW" indicates the tire only has sufficient tread depth for dry and most wet road conditions. And after the "
W" and
"S" have both worn away, the remaining "
D" indicates the tire has appropriate tread depth for dry conditions only. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wound jointless nylon cap plies to provide long-term integrity under high-speed conditions while reducing weight and helping to provide more uniform ride quality.
