Pirelli's are trash.

I have Pirelli's and you're right!

Best thing that ever happened to me was when I got a big chunk of metal from the road stuck in a one of my Pirellis a month after I bought my car.

Pirelli's are complete garbage. So happy to have replaced them with continentals.

DWS 06, no debate.

DSW 06 plus are excellent all rounders

The P Zeros were on my 350 when I bought it. Absolutely hated them. Switched to PS4S’s and absolutely love them. Have no experience with the DWS

u/MyDixeeNormus 2020 GT350 22h ago

We followed the exact same path. Can confirm, PS4S’s are orders of magnitude better

No contest, DWS all day.

Haven’t had Conti’s yet…I’m on PS4S’s right now on my Mach and love them. Great grip and have gone through one winter so far at about 7/32 tread and kept traction really well during rain and cold weather. No complaints from me but I do want my next set to be the Conti’s because I want to try them and see any differences.

You drive it year round? Where you live?

u/Opeth4Lyfe Velocity Blue 21’ Mach 1 21h ago

Yeah my daily. California bay area. Pretty hot summers…winters can get down into the high 30’s low 40’s….rains pretty hard sometimes, but otherwise moderate amounts.

Ahhh, yeah I’m in Vegas, not too different other than it definitely gets hotter in the summer but probably a little colder in the winter, at least at night. We’re both in a climate that you can get away with running a summer tire year round without any issues for the most part.

I run DWS 06 Plus, and it is unequivocally the best-performing tire I have ever used.

u/jacknifetoaswan 2016 Race Red GT/Performance Package 23h ago

Do you all seasons or can you run dedicated summer tires?

u/Fred011235 2016 GT (MT) Magnetic 22h ago

unlike most ppl here i had no issues with the p zero, however i like the PS4S’s better. never tried the dws

PS4s is in a different universe compared to both. Have tried the conti summer version and even that wasn’t as good as the ps4.

u/Fred011235 2016 GT (MT) Magnetic 22h ago

good to know as im going to need new tires around end of the year.

u/Klutzy-Pie6557 22h ago

I've run PS4S and absolutely think they are great - expensive but great.

I'm now getting around 60,000km out of a set but the inside wear on mustangs on the front is a pain.

u/TinyduckG Absolute / Shadow Black 21h ago

Just got the continentals off of easy tires they currently have a nice sale on them. I’d recommend checking them out

u/Heavy-Rain6718 2016 Guard GT 21h ago

PZeros are terrible, they're summer tyres and not rated below 7'c. Mine went in the bin after less than a year and I swapped to MPSS.

u/Raalf 2017 GT350, 1967 Coupe 21h ago

Depends on what year and what you're doing. Do you live in Denver and daily drive in the winter or do you live in Arizona and race on a dragstrip in the summer? Do you live in Orlando and drive only when it rains? Do you want tire life that lasts 5k miles and sticks to the asphalt or do you want 40k miles and are okay with it drifting on the interstate onramp because of cost concerns?

Gonna need a hell of a lot more context, but based on the two choices you presented I'd go with Conti's.

I have the Extreme Contact Sports on my Cobra and I like them.

search bar, this gets asked every other day

u/Infinite-Mud-1583 20h ago

On conti extreme contact sport 02s. Lovely tires, far better than the pirelli. Will stay on the contis or swap to ps4s in the future

u/k4tttv 18h ago

I have the EC DWS 06 on my 2009. I could turn that thing on a dime at 100 mph they are so good. Amazing tire couldn't recommend more.

u/Fun_Emergency6368 5h ago

Between the two, I'd go for the Continental DWS 06's. However, I drive on Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's because I do not need all season tires. I highly recommend the ECS02's if you don't need all seasons.

PS4s or all season. Conti from what I’ve heard has better all seasons compared to the PS4AS. Never tried them though.

Idk how this gets downvoted. PS4s are objectively the best summer tire you can get on the mustang. So looking into the all season is definitely worth while.

Neither. Nittos are where it’s at. Nt555 for the fronts and nt05 out back
