Default Gary - Continental Extremecontact DW for S5

I had a blowout last summer, and opted to change out only two of my tires to the Extremecontact DW's, and now as I am changing out my winter tires, I see the tread is dangerously low on the other two summer wheels.

I just checked TireRack.com and it's coming up back-ordered.. Is it something temporary, or should I start looking elsewhere?? Just need 2 of them..

255/35ZR19

Thanks..

Unfortunately we're looking at sixty days or longer on this size, sorry.

Thanks for checking.. So given my lack of options, how big a deal is different pairs of tires. Looking at maybe 2 of the pilot super sports?? Will that throw off the ride?

Do not mix different tires due to unstable handling. This is especially true for an all wheel drive car.

Go to a local reputable tire shop. I'm sure they'll match or beat tire racks price and they might have that size in stock.

A small number of these tires just showed up unexpectedly in our Nevada warehouse if you still need them.
