HI simon---I'm a new X6 owner since last year....and I did the Continental Sports Contact...and my car was constantly pulling to one side....so i took it in and they said the alignment was correct....and overall i hated that style of tire.
My car did not like it either. Just did not ride as well as when i had the Dunlop Sports Maxx tire (that was my stock tire from BMW). I've been very happy with the Dunlop. I'm not a veteran at these things but I know when my car drove well vs when it didn't. Hence, why I am worried about any Continental tire, but I trust what everyone else is saying about the Continental DSW. |

I don't know yet since I still have the original Bridgstone's that came with the car. They have 15K miles on them and I think I will get another 5K if I put them back on in the spring......Steve

I too have the dws and absolutely love them. The ride is so much more comfortable and road noise is barely noticeable. The quietest tyres I have experienced ever. My tyres are 275/315. Would buy again for sure.

I've had the Continental DWS Extreme's on now for a few weeks....
WOW! Good as advertised. quiet and they are mean...almost feels like a springy type of shoe on your car. |

I have X6m and want to ride on stock 300 20" in winter.
Have red everything but didn't understand perfectly wich tires are the best... I live in Moscow where winter is really hard with lot's of snow and ice on the roads so the main point for winter tyres for me - is SAFETY and good braking on ice and snow. Cpuld you please recomend me the best winter tyres for 300 style r20? And next summer i will have 21" perhaps.. But not shure yet....SO i would be really happy if you recomend me summer tyres for sporty ride in both variants : like 20' 300 style and 21" oem wheels aswell. Thks a lot. Best regards Victor |

Tire rack told me they will have some in stock today (approximate). I have been checking my email constantly and wish that they will email me with the good news. I have a feeling that it is going to snow soon (within weeks). I still have my dunlop RF summer tires on..... |

I sent a message to Discount Tire Direct, and asked when they will expect their next shipment. Do you have any other retailer suggestions? |

Just spoke with my dealer at BMW and was told that if I get non-RFT tires on my x6 they would not be covered by the tire & wheel warranty I got. What has everyone's experence been with the Continental DSWs in terms of damage? I got the warranty since our roads here in NY are pretty bad. I was thinking of getting continental DSWs but not sure if it's a great idea since they are not covered and also to replace one I may have to waot for months since they are on back order everywhere.
