Continental DW Tires

flashburn · 05-13-2011, 03:02 PM

Eh, this blows. I need to get new tires since my rears are shot, and I wanted to get the DW in size 265/35/19F and 285/35/19R, however my local tire shop says that they won't be able to get in the 265's until mid-June, because they are a new size. Tirerack also shows them as out of stock.

I can probably run another 3 weeks on my rears, before the innermost portion of tread is worn completely.

So my options are either:
A) Choose a different size, but none of the other sizes seem to match up as well.
B) Run mismatched for a few weeks (hopefully that's all!), and keep the Hankook's on the front until the 265's are in stock.

Advice?

i would just use the stock sizes if tirerack has them. they grip super well for a street tire imho... i hated the looks in the beginning but after looking at them the last 2+ months it doesnt bother me now. (was not a fan of rounded sidewalls). i run the DW's.

otherwise i'd consider the S04 or the Pilot's onzedge got recently in stock size.
