Tires Toyo or Continental

BMW road force balanced them and they were perfect... my savings were about $750 after getting them to do the balancing.

That being said, I find continentals are pretty great for the money.

Purchased four new Continental PureContact Tire 215/55R16XL 97H from Walmart in Yorktown for $107 each - installed on OEM 16x7 Catalunya wheels at 109242 miles.

On my past cars I put about 50k miles on the old DWS and also about 30k on the DW and have always been happy with them. Saying that I ordered the DWS06 in size 255/35/19 the first couple weeks they were out and there no reviews yet. I knew that it would more than likely be a better tire than the old DWS which I was a happy with. I have already put about 20k miles on the tires and they have been great in the rainy Florida weather and so far have really shown no wear at all.

I had the previous generation Extreme Contact DWS tires on my previous car and liked them very much. I thought they were pretty good in the snow, especially for a high performance tire. The OEM Conti's on my Passat (it turns out) were good too...handled ok, wore well, but were getting a little noisy.

35 front and rear has always felt good. MPSS and Conti DW and DWS both love 35 PSI as to not roll the sidewall.

the grip is unreal compared to my old tires. Tires - $611 shipped (Continental Extremecontact DW 235-40-18, TireBuyer.com)

I personally love it and it works very well. Tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 225/40ZR18

They stretch real nice.. handling and ride isnt that great though compared to my Vredstein sporttrac 2's I had.. if you can get those i would look into it. They are awesome tires in every aspect, way above the Toyos..

I did go with the Conti DWS initially. Hated the noise they made (see my post earlier). I like the P-Zero much better.
