Default 2007 is250 (rwd) - tires!

Hi. I am in need of all-season tires. I need asymmetric because my tire sizes are different in order to rotate (side to side)

front = 225/45-17
rear = 245/45-17

I've researched the conti DWS and kumho 4x. Are there any other options that you would suggest as these tires have really mixed reviews?
Thanks!

The Continental would fair better in snow and ice and would also wear a bit longer. The Kumho is a very good dry and wet tire and fun to drive but lacks behind the DWS in snow traction. Depending upon how much snow you see, I would chose the tire which is most appropriate for where you live.

Kumho Ecsta 4X



Continental Extreme Contact DWS
