Planning on buying the conti dws but can't find them anywhere in my area. Tirerack has them on back order so no telling when they'll be available. Really want these tires because of the low cost and relative same performance compared to the primacys. But it looks like I my have to go with the primacys due to availability. Wtf.

I had the comfortreds when I bought the car. They felt similar to my primacy's and my mileage was better. Only problem was at like 30-35 mph they had a bit of a wobble I had a hard time balancing out and others noted it on the reviews on tire rack. That was 225 55 17. The primacy's have been fine like other Michelins I have owned never a problem just a good solid tire.

I bought a vehicle with Cooper Lifeliners (I believe) and they are very quiet. I did have the back end slip on a turn the other day at an intersection. I may have stepped on it too hard, but I blame it on the switch to rear wheel drive after years with a FWD car.

Sadly, i cannot get the MXV4's in Russia....
So, i decided to take a stab with Yokohama DB V550 - ppl report, that they are ultra quiet and smooth.
Any ideas ?

i work at a tire store and we could possibly send you a set of primacy mxv4's. you would have to pay shipping for them to you and whatever custom fees there are. let me know if i can get you a quote

thanks for help mate, but i rekon that shipping would be about 200usd per tire, thus making all purchase unneccesarily expensive... pm me please, we'll talk... thanks
