Honestly, I read a lot of good things about the continental DWS tires - and that is what I have on my car now. They seem to be wearing fine and they ride really well - but I could tell immediately that I would want more out of the sidewall than these were giving. Granted: I was switching from DUNLOP run flats that no doubt have a stiffer sidewall but I was expecting more. It will be another year or two before I need tires again and I won't be getting the DWS again. I'm not trying to bash them - I just want more out of the tire than it's able to give. So, that's a long way off - but if I had to buy right now, I would be considering the Hankook and I have Goodrich Super Sport A/S on my GTI that I thoroughly enjoy. Though, I'm not sure they would deliver the same goods on the 530i.

It is an new place! Freedom crossing is a big hit in my book. The only thing is I am sure you would not like cleaning up all the sand off your property after a big sandstorm. BTW, the Movie theater is great as well.
