I just did the exact same thing. On my 2021 MYLR I replaced the OEM Continentals with Extreme Contact DWS06+ 3 days ago. I will keep you posted on my wh/mile change. I had 21K miles on the OEM tires and the wh/mi over this period was 270, exactly like yours. So far I have only about 30 miles on the DWS06+ and am at 280 wh/mi.
The main reason I went with Continental again is because Continental offered me 50% off since my OEM tires were worn out after only 21K miles.
Same story here. I read this forum and learned about 50% off. My OE tires were at 5/32 after 20k miles but I got a puncture near the sidewall of one tire. I contacted continental and still got 50% off (which isn’t exactly 50% when redeemed via America’s Tire or Tirerack, more like 40% of the before tax price). The DWS06+ has a better ride quality, and I’m sure wet and snow performance would be way better. But my efficiency went down the drain. Before I was averaging 260 local, 300 highway, now it’s 300 local and 360 highway. This is just after 150 miles with new tires. Will see how they “break in”.
Without the credit, my choice would be Pirelli P7 AS PLUS 3 (LRR and better snow performance, really?) or Vredenstein.
