I got some continental DWS extreme contacts that came with the car from the dealer, the rear left wheel just blew with a long slice near the center of the tire. Unfixable

1. What do you guys do when you get a flat in a AWD? Do you have to replace all 4 or just replace a pair?

2. I just got a pair of pilot sport a/c 3 for the rear wheels and found out I couldn't mix brands on AWD . How much do you think i could sell the other 3 good wheels for? Continental DWS, i say 4000 miles.

^pic of flat, still have alot of life in the other 3 tires..

 

I wonder how that happened....

You technically CAN mix brands, just not a good idea.

Resale value of ANY tire to be honest (in OEM spec) is $25-50 per tire. I'd keep them around in case you ever run into a flat, or you inherit another car with the same diameter tires.... Not worth it to resell it.

GL!

 

3 good continental DWS extreme contacts for sale! anyone interested? got very good tread left

 

Why not search for a used tire that matches the 3 you have, you may luck out and find one to complete your set, otherwise, consider makeing a tricycle with some funky big wheels.....

 

Why not just replace that one DWS? You can mix and match, if you look up the tire spec of the pilot sport and compare it to the DWS. If it matches or even if its off by a tiny bit you should be ok.

 

Tricycle it is.
