My Ride: 06 530XI Sapphire Black, Black Int. 6sp, Cold, Prem
Time for new tires on my 530Xi, all stock. I've had 2 sets of Continental ContiTouring (stock factory installed + dealer installed.)
It seems the Extreme contacts much better reviews but not as good as the ENvigor. I would give the Continentals a try but they are backordered like crazy. I called TireRack and they told me 6-8 weeks and that may be wishful thinking. They strongly recommended the ENvigor. Has anyone tried a set, they are relatively inexpensive although I don't want to replace them in a month. Thanks for your input.

I upgraded to the Conti Extreme Contact from the stock Conti Pro Contact. I went with 235/50-17 over the stock 225. Delivery took less than a week at Discount Tire. 600 miles on them so far with no complaints. Sorry I have no experience with the ENvigors.

Quick question, you went with the 235's because they were in stock or you wanted them a touch bigger?

If you do manage to get a set let us know how you like them! You are linking to TireRack thru MrRebates in my signature, aren' t you? ... could save you enough to cover your S&H.

I recomend you to stay with Conti Extreme Contact DWS or General Exclaim UHP (also by Conti). You woun't be disapointed.

taller. Maybe because they have tread and my old ones didn't
The ride is very good without road noise. That's exactly what I wanted.

Just went a touch bigger. I can't find the post someone made a while back about the Extreme Contacts looking taller than normal. The height of the sidewall. I admit they do look
