Conti DWS 235/35/19 discontinued...

DC_Oldboy · 03-13-2012, 03:07 PM

So I called Discount Tires today to order Conti DWS 235/35/19 but was told they no longer make them in that size. So what will be the next best size for my fronts? Or will i have to go with a different brand? I am not lowered but on stock sports.

Thanks in advance.

245/35-19 is only a about a 1/4" increase in outside tire diameter which shouldn't effect much, also have you looked into other tire brands or other models offered by conti?

Yes but there so much to choose from lol... I got 2 brand new Conti DWS on the rear. Looking to get something equivalent to it because it rains A LOT where i live.

Any suggestions?

235/35R19 Conti DWS are not discontinued. They are just on backorder right now with about a two to three month ETA.

I was about to say, how can Conti discontinue a tire size in which is the most popular IMO for tires sizes used on front 19in rims.

Why not wait until the back-ordered DWS arrive? It's not a good idea to mix tire brands, types or models on the same car - especially if you value wet weather performance and predictability.

Are you serious? I asked the guy twice to make sure... I knew it was back order but he said "discontinued." That's good if its not.

+1 - they are on national back order at this point of time. If you're looking for an all season tire, you may also want to check out the General G-Max A/S Tires.

I was looking into that or the Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season. You think it would be fine to run DWS on the rear and those in the front?

I looked more into it thanks for the info.

seems like 245 tend to be better with higher offset wheels, ie et 40 and higher chances of rubbing when lowered.

Guess I'll have to wait :/
