Quiet tires with good feedback on 2019 BMW X3

Put this on 2019 BMW X3 4 cylinder. It replaces the factory run flat. It is easy to notice the ride is more comfortable and quiet. If you are ready for non run flat tires, this is a great choice.

Can't say too much about this particular set yet, have only driven the car once. But if these are anything like all the other DWS06 sets we have and have had, they're a great all season tire.

5th set of these!

This is my 5th set of the DWS06 plus! Obviously, I really like them. I am a spirited driver and these really stick to the road. I have had great experiences on dry and wet roads. They are good in the snow as well. Great stopping distances on all types of roads. The only thing that I would wish for would be noise as they get older. You can't have a awesome performing tire and quiet all it's lifespan. I have a high horsepower car and they hold up great! This is the 3rd car that I use these tires on and will continue so as long as they are available. Home run on these tires, Continental!

I've switched from Michelin and Toyo to Continental. Extreme Contact for my Subaru STI and Cross Contact for my Chevy Impala. Great performance, comfort, and longevity in all my experiences.
