![]() I would expect them to have more grip, sounds like it's a nice improvement there. But I've seen allot of reports claiming soft sidewalls, which doesn't seem to be a problem though. So you said these offer a smoother street ride right, is that at the expense of handling though? (excluding the new found grip) Do these feel like the respond as quickly, or quicker then with the 18's? If I can step up to 19" wheels and actually get a better street ride while also improving my handling and responsiveness that would be a no-brainer... besides pretty impressive Thanks for the help ![]()

I'm not a tire expert by any means, but I know that tire selection depends on your style of driving. Once you know how you'll drive your car, you can decide on a proper tire for your car. From there, it depends on your tastes (customer feedback, costs, brand, past experiences, etc.). I tend to drive conservatively, but I enjoy sprinting along the countryside from time to time. Overall, I feel like I made a good decision for my driving style. Plus, identifying a specific tire that would fit my wheel size was a challenge in its own rite. There wasn't a wide array of options available in lieu of selecting two different brands. ![]() |

![]() I hope you realize you will now be directly responsible for causing me to spend a crap-ton more money on my car for wheels and tires now ![]() I hear you on the size, that was how I found them in the first place. Our choices of tires are pretty limited in these sizes. A high performance tire that will last 50k, and actually has some grip, Plus a warranty is crazy. ![]()

Continental makes a good tire, have been used in Europe for years on high end sports cars. The 2009 Nissan GT-R by AMS is riding on Continental ContiSportContact 3 tires ......... not available in our exact size, but the Extreme DW is similar in design :

I just dropped my car off to get a set of the DWS installed on the stock sport wheels. Unfortunately they'll be sitting a week while I go out of town, but I'll report back when I get a few miles on them. This winter I should have an opportunity or two to report how they handle some light snow as well.
Price was a little over $1k out the door with tax and installation. I actually came out a little ahead (and certainly faster) going to a local Merchant's instead of Tirerack (sorry, AK). |

245 has no rim protection on 19x9 , 275 barely any rim protection on 19x10.5...
I run the DW's on my weds. Not bad, im not a fan of the round sidewall visually but lately not bugging me. |
