Continental DW Extreme Size Discontinued?
Found out that 285-30-zr19 discontinued size on 2005-2008 SL 65…….pretty new tire, got a flat and now tough to find this size……anybody know where to get one…….one used on ebay for 299………..thanks for any info on source…….at least the rare 19 inch spare bought in Holland paid off….checking Merc dealers now for new ones…….

Discontinued
Tirerack, Performance Plus and Discount Tire advised that the size was discontinued some time ago, i.e. 6 months....no special order.....I'll check sears to see if in stock…well I checked……….NOT available…………FYI…………..if you also get a flat, which I hope you all don't, hope it is repairable….mine was not……..too close to the edge or sidewall……………..have to go with one new on rear and other rear worn with 12K miles…..then on to Hankook probably…….
Looks like the Conti DWS is in that size and now Conti pushing everyone to go to their new 5P in that size which is $100-150 more per tire in that size versus the Extreme DW 285-30-19…………bummer…..liked these tires………..for the medium price…..
