DT tires deals.
Hello all,
I just found this post few mins ago, thought sharing it with you. 100$ off of 400$ or more and additional MIR for few brands. no love for Michelin.
I just gave up on searching for 18" AMG style OEM wheels and planned to buy new tires for my ugly looking stock 17" "Luxury" wheels.
https://slickdeals.net/f/12132160-10...es-on-ebay?v=1
1. What tires do you suggest? I know DT stand by their warranty on the tire life.
2. My TPMS sensors work fine now, should I be replacing them? In future if I want to replace TPMS sensors, do I need to dismount/remove the tires (meaning additional 20$ per tire for re-mounting) or I'm better off buying them now itself?
4 NEW 245/45-17 CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT DWS06 45R R17 TIRES 32211 are coming for 544-70$ MIR and probably 80$ installation.
or any other tires you suggest for our tire eating heavy cars..!
TIA.

CONTINENTAL EXTREME CONTACT DWS06
I have these, although in 18", on my E550 and I really like them. ($180 each at tire rack in 18")

IMO Continental makes a good tire. I had PureContacts on a Crown Vic with good results, and I have ControlContacts on my E350.
Wet weather handling is good (I think the 4matic helps with that though). There is about 30K on the ControlContacts - wear resistance has been good, I think they are maybe at half wear, and I keep the car aligned/tires balanced. I'm generally an easy driver on the car, so I typically get decent wear out of a set of tires.
If I have a complaint, they are fairly noisy tires, to the point where I asked the dealer to check for any wheel bearing issues. Of course the fairly poor sound deadening in the car doesn't help - in retrospect they are probably no noisier than other tires with 30k but it's one of those things that once you notice it stays with you.
With that said, I would consider another set of Continentals, especially if the price was right.
