According to user ratings on Tire Rack and Consumer Reports tests, the Continental PureContact LS is one of the most comfortable and quietest tires available. If you use Tire Rack charts to compare them to the DWS06 though, the DWS06 are actually rated slightly higher in those regards and of course handle better. Does this mean that Tire Rack charts are not accurate when comparing tires of two different types to one another? The PureContact LS are GT tires while the DWS06 are UHP. I am trying to decide between these two sets to go on my stock wheels and ditch the AS3+ tires I am using now due to the ride harshness on crappy Wisc. roads. To make things even more confusing they rate the AS3+ as having the same ride comfort as the DWS06 which everyone knows is not true at least in our stock tire size.
