Gary,

I have a 2008 550i Sport w/OEM 19's. I'm going back and forth between Conti DWS's and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires. I've never been a fan of Conti's, but these new tires look pretty good... Do you have an opinion between the two? Also, If I go with the DWS's, I'll have to go with 285/30-19's for the rear instead of the OEM size of 275/30-19. That should not be an issue, should it?

Thanks in advance.

The Extreme Contact DWS will be a step down in dry grip and steering response from the Sport A/S + but it will have better snow traction as well as a smoother and quieter ride. I doubt that 285/30R19 would be a problem on this car.

But...

check out the wild grip of the DWS in the wet in the TR comparo test!
