Price difference for continental dws:

Tire rack - 175
Rallye BMW - 290

This is price gouging and no way to look at it any other way.

And for OP--

There's a tire shop in Levittown:

Tire Discount Tire Pros
3914 Hempstead Turnpike
Levittown, NY 11756


These guys stock the Continental DWS tires, and they sell them (from my personal experience) for 20-30$ per tire less than Tire Rack, mounted and balanced. And they're nice guys. Family owned business.

Thanks for the heads up

Prestige BMW I heard is know for price gouging on pretty much everything they sell from tires, to service. Wish people could just be fair and honest.

I didn't know technicians, and service advisors get commission from service write ups. To me, that doesn't make sense. If that's the case, they will try to upsell ypu on pretty much everything.

Take your care elsewhere.

Agreed. Seems like they are willing to bend you over as long as you don't know.
