Ready to race!
These are not the dws06. I wanted the standard dws because they were rated for snow, where as the dws06 said nothing about snow for the design. If I didn't live in Michigan, I would've gone with the dws06 for sure.
I just ordered the DWS06 and am getting them on Monday. I live in a high snow area(Philadelphia) and expect these to work decently in light snow.

The Dry, Wet and Snow letters in the tread indicate the tire’s optimal performance levels in a variety of driving conditions.
“The ExtremeContactTM DWS06 is the evolution of our very popular, ExtremeContactTM DWS,” said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for Continental Tire. “This is the ultimate UHP, all-season tire. We’ve maintained excellent snow traction while making improvements in wet traction, dry handling and tread life. This is a tire enthusiasts will really enjoy.”
Additionally, all-season traction is enhanced through the use of Traction Grooves and X-Sipes. Traction Grooves improve snow performance through increased pattern edges while X-Sipes improve braking, cornering and acceleration in wet, snow and ice.
