  • Factory fitments or vehicles that specifically require XL-rated tires.
  • Electric vehicles, where battery weight, instant torque, and road noise put extra demands on the tire.

Think twice if you need

  • Quebec winter compliance — a standard all-season without the 3PMS symbol doesn’t satisfy the December to March mandate.

255/40ZR20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – All Season

Category: All Season – Ultra High Performance

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is a premium, ultra-high performance all-season tire for passenger cars, crossovers and SUVs. Ideal for true, year-round traction, this tire comes complete with SportPlus Technology, which provides responsive handling, better grip on wet roads, and extended tread life. The ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus is an upgrade from the original and performs better in dry & wet braking and handling as well as snow & ice performance. It also has a 80,000km tread life warranty for all sizes.

XL (Extra Load) — built to handle higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load tire of the same size.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load index 101 means each tire can carry up to 825 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
  • Speed rating Y is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 300 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
  • UTQG 560 AA A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
  • All Season tires handle mild year-round conditions well, but they’re not winter tires. In Quebec, a standard all-season doesn’t satisfy the mandatory winter tire requirement unless it specifically carries the 3PMS symbol.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
  • EV Compatible means the tire is designed with electric vehicle demands in mind — higher load capacity for battery weight, reinforced sidewalls for EV torque, and compound choices that balance rolling resistance and road noise.
  • Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
  • Warranty coverage is backed by the manufacturer and applies under normal use — regular rotations, correct inflation, and proper alignment. Keep maintenance records if you ever need to make a claim.

Where this tire fits in

The 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – is a all season / all season – ultra high performance tire, built around a 255 mm section width for a 20-inch wheel.

Worth noting on the spec side: this tire carries an XL extra load rating, load index 101 and speed rating Y (~300 km/h), UTQG 560 AA A when provided by the manufacturer.

About the 255/40R20 tire size

  • R20 — radial construction, for a 20-inch wheel

The 255/40R20 size is commonly found on luxury sedans and performance vehicles. Replacing a set? The full size marking is on your current tire’s sidewall — confirm width, profile, and rim diameter all match before you order.

What stands out — Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – 255/40R20

  • Marked as EV compatible — designed with EV load, torque, and road noise characteristics in mind.
  • UTQG 560 AA A — manufacturer-assigned treadwear, traction, and temperature grades. Useful for comparing within the same brand, but not a mileage guarantee.
  • Service description 101Y: load index 101 means each tire carries up to 825 kg, speed rating Y is rated to 300 km/h.
Quebec winter tire mandate — all-season note

Quebec mandates winter tires from December 1 to March 15. The 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – is an all season tire — and without the 3PMS symbol, a standard all-season does not satisfy Quebec’s mandatory winter tire rule.

Consider a dedicated winter or all weather tire for Quebec driving.

Common questions — 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – All Season

What does the 255/40R20 tire size mean?

Break it down and 255/40R20 tells you three things: the tread is 255 mm wide, the sidewall stands at 40% of that — about 102 mm of rubber between road and rim — and it fits a 20-inch wheel. You’ll find this size most often on luxury sedans and performance vehicles.

Is the 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – an All Season tire?

Yes — the 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – is categorized as an All Season tire. Standard all-season tires handle mild year-round conditions but don’t meet Quebec’s mandatory winter tire requirement on their own. If you drive in Quebec between December and March, look at a dedicated winter or all-weather tire that carries the 3PMS symbol.

What does the 101Y rating mean on the 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS -?

The 101Y on the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – breaks into two numbers: load index 101, meaning each tire carries up to 825 kg, rated to approximately 300 km/h; and speed rating Y, rated to 300 km/h under proper load and inflation. Your door jamb placard lists the minimum ratings your vehicle requires — match or exceed both.

Is the 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – 3PMS rated?

No — the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – doesn’t carry the 3PMS symbol. If Quebec winter compliance or severe snow traction is a priority, you’d want a tire that does.

Is the 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – studdable?

Studdable status is not confirmed for this tire. Reach out and we’ll check the manufacturer specs for you.

Does the 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – support run flat driving?

No — the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – is a standard tire, not a run flat. If your vehicle came equipped with run flats, your replacement set needs to be run flat-capable too.

Is the 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – an XL (extra load) tire?

Yes — the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – is XL rated. It’s designed for higher inflation pressures and greater load capacity than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your current tires are XL, your replacement should be too.

What does speed rating Y mean on the 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS -?

Speed rating Y on the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – corresponds to a maximum sustained speed of 300 km/h under proper load and inflation. In practice, this tells you the performance category the tire is built for — not a number to chase on public roads.

Yes — we ship the 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – across Ontario and Quebec. Free shipping • 1–3 business days (Ontario and Quebec).

Why buy the 255/40R20 Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS – from XYZTires if another tire looks cheaper?
