Tire photos

BMW_X3_2022 · 10-08-2021, 02:53 PM

Hey all,
New X3 owner and looking to ditch the run flats ASAP...I'm torn between the AS4+ and the DWS06+, both have amazing reviews so asking if anyone has photos of either installed on theirs if they wouldn't mind sharing?

At this point I think it will come down to aesthetics! I've owned he pilot as4's on my previous Audi and loved the look, but I'm beginning to feel like the Conti's might be the preferred choice on here for the X3.

THanks!

Aesthetics

They're black, made of rubber and round.
They are made to drive on not to be admired.

Another couple of pics for you. They ride very smooth and quiet.

Very nice!! I can't wait to lose these run flats! I think I'll pull the trigger on these now 👍

I agree with The.bands . Tire aesthetics is something I've never heard as a consideration when buying tires. This should be the least important quality of a tire.

duegatti · 10-09-2021, 08:49 AM

I just got a 20" set of the Conti's for a car I don't have yet. The tread pattern is certified uber cool, and you can see it well in one of the pictures posted.

I did choose it based on the Tirerack ratings - but an uber cool tread pattern is a bonus.

I hadn't really thought about the design of the tire myself, but these Vredestein winter tires want to make sure that you know Giugiaro was involved in the design.

OK I will take this one step further... customer surveys show that a significant portion of tire buyers are swayed by the appearance of the LABEL on the tire - yes the sticker on the tread that is removed or wears off almost immediately.

SuperPoly · 10-14-2021, 09:39 AM

Have you seen the CrossClimate+ ? Not sure what you're going for, but they look pretty wild.

Funny you mention that, I parked beside a toyota rav 4 recently that had them and thought they looked pretty cool, they sound like they might have been geared a little too far toward snow though. Living in Socal not much need for that

I went with the Conti's as they had such great reviews from folks on here and online reviews, they seem to strike the right balance between comfort, sport and confidence in the wet. I had them installed yesterday at discount tire, I'll post some pics when I get a chance but the brief drive home was a noticeable improvement over the run flats. No more crashing over uneven pavement. Very smooth

lee229 · 10-14-2021, 11:27 AM

I think if you drive it in snow a lot, should go with DWS06+. Otherwise AS4+ has better grip.

mikeym40 · 10-16-2021, 08:00 PM

For NY, would you recommend the Michelins or Continentals? Looking to ditch the run flats by mid November.

lee229 · 10-17-2021, 12:16 AM

I went with DWS06+ as might go skiing couple times a year in upstate.

Volkster · 10-17-2021, 02:36 PM

Got the DWS06+’s in a 20” square set up. 255/45ZR20 and love ‘em
