All Season Tires

bx6 · 11-15-2010, 01:59 PM

Hi, I am looking for All Seasons Tires (non-run flat) for my bmw x6 3.5i and I have been recommended to get so many different tires that I am completely confused on what to get. Any help?

Continental DWS, without question.

Search the board for "DWS". (Dry/Wet/Snow)

If you can find them in stock.........Steve

oh! That's what DWS stands for! I may also look for tires, so it will definitely be useful knowledge.

Has anyone heard from Continental if they are going to start producing these again?

You can't find them anywhere right now...back order back order etc. No production date in sight either.

I got mine from discounttiredirect.com last week.

I just checked. The status is now "On Order".
I guess I will have to wait

flipside, I notice that you are driving a 2011 X6.

I am wondering what you did with your stock Dunlop Runflat? It should still be fairly new.

I am thinking about selling mine and switch to Continental. Do you know how easy these things sell?

I don't know anyone who would by the POS run flats. Maybe your dealer so that they can screw a customer that needs one.

I bet you can sell them. Anyone who is leasing needs to put RFTs back on at lease turn-in. Also anyone who wants to CPO their vehicle. In the next couple of years, I bet there will be a few folks looking for a deal on slightly used RFTs for this very reason.

Do what I did. Place an order somewhere and wait. They go very quickly once they're in stock. At least get yourself on the list.

Mine is leased, so they're in storage until the lease is up.

Sure. I will try to sell it.
Hopefully it can cover the cost of those Continentals.

I like the convenience of RFTs and I dont dislike the ride either and they are relatively quiet, the 1st generation RFTs were not that good I agree but the recent bridgestones coming on the Xs are pretty good .....I am wondering what you guys plan to do when you get a flat in the middle of no where...?

I live in Columbus, Ohio....and I had to go in Indiana to get them....You can get the back tires ordered from anywhere...it's the front tires that of course are hard to get. they had found some dispursed throughout the country...

I have 2 cans of fix-o-flat and an air compressor in the back just in case. I also have the spare

jkravec · 11-30-2010, 01:19 AM

I ordered mine last week as well. I ordered them from Discount Tire (local store) and they first told me the front tires were on backorder. But he called me today and said he found some from a different local distributor. They get in this week and I have an installation appointment Saturday. If you're looking for for these and can't find them it may be worth a try. I hope they live up t the hype....

coachk101 · 12-03-2010, 07:12 PM

Got my new Continental Extreme Contacts put on yesterday!

Very quiet!! Love em.
