Summer tires - XBimmers

mtlbrad · 03-30-2011, 11:16 AM

Hey guys,

Just trying to pick the type of tires/tyres to get for the summer.
I'd like 19" and wondering if any of you have these on your vehicle and can provide feedback:

Continental EXTREMECONTACT DW
Dunlop SP Sport Maxx

Or does anyone else offer any recommendations on other summer ones? Thanks..

so is everyone just using stock all seasons? someone must have put on summers?

I'm waiting to see what else might come available. I'm not a fan of Dunlop or Continental.

I hate the Goodyears that came with mine. They are brutal in the rain!!!! I don't know how dealers keep using these crap tires.

I think I'm going to go with the Yokahama runflats I found on tirerack. I've had a lot of their tires for different cars..and am always happy. Price and performance.

18"

When I ordered mine and put the 309 19" wheel package on it. It came with performance tires, Pirelli P-Zeros. My X3's production missed the opportunity to have All-season tires by about a week. I had planed to put 18" snow tires and wheels on X3anyway. I've never seen an all-season tire perform in the snow. I feel a lot safer and more in control of the vechile with a set of Bridgestone Blizzac snows.
