New Tires for 4.8is- Has anyone tried the Continental Extreme Contact DWS's?

Thoughts (again!)?

Thanks!

You could always go with the Conti DW and not DWS. The DW is going to give you better grip as long as you are not contending with snow.

Thanks...Any thoughts on others for summer only style driving? My choices are:

Contis
Vredesteins
Toyos

Thanks,

I'm getting Vreds put on today. It was between them and the Contis, but went with dry stick. I'll put up pics and brief review on the vredestein thread after I get my air suspension problem fixed next week. Quote from local Discount for the DWSs was about $1200 (installed, non-Hunter), got the vreds considerably less with Hunter equip.

I just put Yokohama All season. They do really well and plus when you see the tread on the tires, it makes the X5's apperance much more aggressive and sportier.

I haven't confirmed the size and load availability for the DW's. Has anyone else? I have separate Pirelli ice/snows on 4.6is replicas so this could be an option.

they seem great from all the reviews and the price is right. i'd get them for the X5 except they are now back-ordered at tire rack. I guess I will give them a call and see if they have any guidance on when they will be back in stock.

I just bought a set of 4 Toyo Proxes ST II's (4.8is) for $817 shipped to Florida including $48 in taxes (Florida). Very happy with the price, hopefully I will be on the wear and performance too!

Bought from Tread Dopot.

DWS is out of stock with no guidance. I need new tires before I start towing so I just ordered the Cross Contact UHPs. Will post back with review in a month or so.

I didn't think that you could get the Extreme DW's in 275/40 20 & 315/35/20, only in DWS.

I'm in the same boat, need to replace my 20" Diamaris. Diamaris's 315's are now relabled Michelin Lattitude Diamaris on Tirerack with the 275's still 4x4 Diamaris

Choices are slim althought Treadepot has Pirelli's (Rosso's) to pick from. Bridgestone Dueler H/P's are standard on the new X5/6 M's
