Goodbye RFTs!
*cue applause*
So I'm ditching my Continental ContiProContact RFTs for regular tires. Anyone have recommendations for a 2006 330Xi MT? My brother has a 2006 330Ci ZHP with Continental ExtremeContact DWs and his car drives amazing. |

Are you looking for all-season tires or summer only performance tires? Is handling and steering response your main goal, or is tread wear and ride quality more important?

Just put on a set of DWS on my wife's M-B E350 4Matic. All seasons for the kind of weather we get here in the DC Metro.

For an all-season, the DWS would be a great choice. Good performance to accompany a quiet/smooth ride.

If you don't venture to colder climates, Hankook Ventus V12s, Continental DWs, or Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

All-season for sure since I live in Northern NJ. Handling and steering is key since I can handle ride quality decreasing a bit seeing as how I've been on RFTs this entire time!

another good "all-season with performance" alternative to Continental's DWS is Toyo's new Proxes4.

And given the performance, cost and 540 tread wear rating, I doubt there is a better A/S value. Tom |

To the guys who change out the runflats...
since our cars don't come with spare tires, what do you guys do in case of a flat tire?

one thing i did notice about these tires, is that it seems to be more sensitive to steering input. it could be because im running 265/30 rears now compared to my previous sets of 245/35 FK452 rears and 255/35 PSS rears from before which had thicker sidewalls. but it took awhile for me to get used to the way it handles. cant really say anything about mileage longevity since i only have 500 miles, but my friend at Toyo says these should get me pretty good life (PSS did too, but those suckers cost like 300 each lol).

Just got my new Continental DWSs on today. Seems to make all the difference in the world as the feel of the ride goes. As someone else said in a previous post, I'm in love with my car again.
Also, signed up for AAA today just in case of a flat. And, ordered a cheap air compressor to keep in the trunk. |
