Dilemma With Front Tires on Back Order
Ordered Continental DWS rears for my 20" 87s last year and planned to order the fronts beginning of this year. Well, they have been back order for months and tire rack is saying it will be until further notice. No word from Continental. What do you guys think... 1. Order a front pair from a different manufacturer? OR 2. Order a different Continental size? 275/35 20 (Diameter Difference = 3.81%, Speedo Difference =3.954% too fast) 285/30 20 (Diameter Difference = 6.74%, Speedo Difference =7.220% too fast) 295/40 20 (Diameter Difference = 2.16%, Speedo Difference =2.196% too slow) TIA

Correct size is important. Maybe try the Firestone Destination? Once you get them mounted make sure the distance between the street and the center of the wheel is same front to rear otherwise the Traction control might not like it. I run different brands/types front/rear but I always make sure the pressure is such that this measurement is the same.

Jay,
Looked at Discount Tire and I'm getting the same feedback. |
