Desert Delinte full set or toyo rears only?

[fmugur]

I need to get new tires but I am not sure if what's a better choice.
The fronts (275/40/20) are good enough about 60-70% while the rear (315s) need to be replaced before the winter.
The cost for two 315s toyo will as much as I can get the desert delinte full set online around $700 shipped.
What would you do?

Conti DWS

If those are the two choices I'd get a full new set.

I guess it depends if you're ok with two brands of tires on your ride or one complete set?
For me...I like the Conti DWS'.

Delinte D8 ride/handle/feel exactly like DWS.

I put mine on because the rears were shot and fronts are still Conti DWS; they had about 7/8/32 left on them.

Id get the full set. My buddy has the full set on his 2013 50i probably a month after i got mine and likes them as well.


Edit: I see your in Canada, maybe they cost more there or costs more to get shipped I guess. Around here they can be had for about $550 full set.

I had these on the other X5 and they were great tires even in the snow but I prefer symmetrical tires for the X and its camber. When the rear suspension gets loose you will notice it in the tires and unfortunately with asymmetrical tires you cannot flip them on the rims to get more life out of them.

How many mile did you put on them? Good enough in snow? Do they become 'plastic' in cold temperature?

I could not find any shop in Canada that would sell Delinte and shipping pricy. When I asked them they said they will never carry cheap brands because quality.

I think I will give it a try a full set Delinte D8

I bought my X new. I have driven 108,000 miles. I have continually shopped same size/rating options as I was replacing rear tires at 10-12,000 miles and the front at around 20,000. I didn't like that. When the fronts were still good I only replaced rear tires. At least once I did that when changing brands. I have never had the slightest issue. There are now better tires that will last much longer. The definition of winter in Dallas is a bit different that your neck of the woods so I have no suggestion for your next tires.

We gor hit with the bad winter and very low temps in the east coast this year. Im sure it gets worse in Canada but for an all season they will perform fine.

I've had mine on since 10/2013. And id say easily put over 12k miles on.
