:( Not even one week of owning the car!

I'm seeing if they can reallocate the funds from the insurance to swap the tires for some Continental Extreme Contact DW's. That way I have a less noisy tire, get a full set of new tires and pay a marginal amount instead of the whole Deductible(~$500) + 2 new Bridgestone's ($700+ bucks)

Heh, no worries - I am more worried about road noise and ride quality than if my sidewall is a little round :P

I had the DWS on my 335i, but figured Austin is fine for summer tires

so I went with the DW
