I do not have winter tires and I am wondering what is the best winter tire for 525XI. I have Continental all season and the winter performance terrible.

Sorry but someone may be yanking your chain. Please tell that person that their headlight fluid is low lol. On a serious note, run flat tires handle the same temperatures as regular tires. They mount, air up, balance, repair and run in the same environments as well. I think the potential issue is the make of tire. Does your corvette have all season or summer tires mounted on it. In the colder winter climate. Summer tires will not perform well. Traction on snow and ice is poor and traction on clean asphalt is reduced. The rubber compounds in winter tires are softer than those used in summer tires. All season tires will perform well year round. I hope this helps. Please write back if there is anything else.

Per TireRack.com, there were four tire size options for a 2007 BMW 750i starting at 18 inch going to 21 inch wheels. You will need to know what size you car currently has and whether they are staggered (narrow front/wider rear) or the same front/rear. You will also need to know if they are "Run flat" or regular. The site has good testing articles and ratings of various brands. The Uniform Tire Quality Grade number rates tire longevity (higher number lasts longer 100= approx. 7,200 miles) and the letters are for traction (AA is best) and temperature (A is best).
Continental Extreme Contact DWS is available in your size works well as an Ultra High Performance All Season.

A good "all season" tire would be your best choice - check out TireRack.com - you can look up your cars tire size and compare between dozens of brands and prices to chose from. (lots of customer reviews too)

For a performance summer tire the Continental ExtremeContact DW is very highly rated for sound comfort.

For an all season performance tire look at the Continental ExtremeContact DWS.

best wishes

If you have too much money, I will take some off your hands. All season tires are all season tires. If you want snow tires get a new set of rims then keep snow tires in your garage for the winter and all season tires for the rest of the year. If you cant drive in the snow cant help you with that.

Standard 87 octane is all that car requires. You will gain no benefit from using mid or top grade fuel.

Most passenger car tires are run between 32 and 35 psi, regardless of season. You can look at the side of the tire to find what the max cold psi pressure is. You will normally find that it is 35psi.

As for summer/winter tires. If the wobble only happens when the snow tires are installed, and not with the summer tires, that obviously eliminates the car as being the problem. Do you have your summer and winter tires mounted on different sets of wheels, or do you swap the tires every season on the same wheels?

If they are on different sets of wheels, then the winter tires are out of balance, have some sort of damage to the carcass of the tires, or you have a bent wheel. If you are using the same wheels and swapping the tires every season, then you need to have your winter tires balanced and see if it solves the problem.

since n.j. is one of the staes that the weather varies i recommend that you get all around seasonal radials tires firestone, goodyear and wal-mart they have sale going on all the time. happy driving

Snow tires are better for Winter But, Change them back out for Spring or they will not last very long on Regular Asphalt. They are made from a Softer Rubber than all Season Tires. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

ya, and all the hills make it 10x worse. i'm from pittsburgh. it all depends on how much you want to spend. but make sure they are winter performance and not all season, they are better for snow and icey conditions.
