Thank you for this review. Very informative.
I haven't received my LR AWD M3 yet (@6 weeks from order date), but am looking at getting aftermarket wheels & tires from the start. Playing around with some configurations... 265/35/R19 x 9.5 , 265/30/R20 x 9.0 , or maybe staggered.
so DWS06s: handle better, softer ride, slight (~4%) reduced range, louder. The loudness does concern me.... possibly due to the tread pattern, or higher psi? I know that the Michelin Primacys have been rated as one of the quieter tires on the market.
Has your research led you toward any other tires? I'm curious if the Continental Extreme Contact Sport (DW, no 'S'now) are noticeably quieter. Have you looked at the Pirelli Cinturato Strada Sport?
