I put on a set of the Continental DWS06 Plus 255/35-18 on18x9.5 rims and they seem really noisy. I have run the Continentals on my previous vehicles without this issue before, but they were the DWS06s, not the plus model. Did they change something? Anyone in here have any experience with the older model and the newer ones? Comparing them to the stock Bridgestones, they are at least twice as loud.

 

I had the DWS06 on my wife's Highlander about 5 years ago and she now has DWS06+ for the last 2 years, I haven't notice a large noise different between the 2 models. They do get louder as they wear, not uncommon for a lot of tires. I currently have the DWS06+ on my GS350 now, no earth shattering noise either. I'm wondering if the alignment is off.
