noise? between the stereo and the wind thru the open windows i don't hear much.

So how are they wearing. The DWS tires on my TL look as new as the day I got them, and I have almost 10K on them.

Well, you do take good care of your cars, doc

I had the Proxies on my Cayenne and they were good. I could not find either the DWS or the Proxies in 20s for my x5, so I picked up a set of non-run flat Latitudes and they are awesome. One of the best tires I ever drove in the rain. They are a bit more expensive, but IMO worth it.

FYI, I have a set of 18s with Latitude Alpins for the winter. I did not use them too much on x5, but the same set of tires were on my Cayenne and excellent in ice and snow.

I am also in the market for all season tires for my 20s

The only ones I found were Continental DWS and Bridgestone Duelers. I live in NJ and snow performance is important. Which tire to get? Each one needs to be special ordered, but the Dueler is a 1 week wait where as the DWS is "we don't know"

STS Tire Centers deal Toyos and that's where I got my STIIs (replaced STs). I like them but I don't know if they're the source of my vibration at 70mph. So frustrating that it's still somewhat there... not as bad as before. Either the rubber or the rims... they spun fine and are supposed to be balanced. Or the vehicle is extremely sensitive to the road, but then everybody would complain of this.

Hey rh71, mind posting pics with the new tires installed. I know a lot of ppl went with the dws's but I just can't get pass the looks of the conti's. . . Always liked how the Toyos look.

I bought the non-run flat Latitudes for my 19" Style 132 wheels on my E53 and they were one of the best tires I've had...But they were a bit pricey. I got over 40k miles out of them, and they were staggard.

I have a set of 275/40/20 toyo ST/II brand new if you are interested? I purchased them to put wheels on my wife's Lexus RX, however now she wants to run 22's. I will sell all 4 or even the front pair only and keep the other 2 for my winter setup? LMK I am in NJ/PA area. They are brand new never mounted. Stickers still on them.. I will match lowest ebay price!!
