Old question but new tires on the market, looking for advice on NON-RFT tires please.

Hello everyone,

Long time listener, first time caller. Actually I come from the F82 side but recently scooped up an X6M for cargo and cold weather.

I know that tires have been discussed on and off for years as far as Non Run Flat options but all the threads I'm finding are from years ago when I search. A lot are discussing the Continental DWS and DWS 06 versus the factory Duellers but there are newer tires on the market and I am looking for opinions on what direction to go in.

What I gather about the DWS 06 and DWS is that the ride is quieter and softer but the handling is subpar due to weaker sidewall and also the look is far less aggressive compared to the Duelers. I don't however see anyone mention the Continental Extreme Contact Sport, it looks to be lighter and more performance oriented. Does anyone run them and if so what are your thoughts?

I want the wide sexy look of the large rubber I'm paying for, I want the ride quality of a non run flat, but I don't want any loss in performance, rather I want a lighter tire to perform as it should with less unsprung weight in the turns. If I get 10-15K out of them a year I'm good with that but more isn't bad either.

Open to any and all suggestions and your personal experiences with various tires.

Thanks very much in advance.
