That's weird, I got a set of DWS for my 18's only 2 months ago from Discount Tire. I hope the aren't discontinuing the whole line, I love mine.

If you can't wait and need some good all seasons right now, check out the General G-Max AS-03. My brother has them on his 07 Sedan and he loves them. I've only driven his G once, but the steering response seemed a little better on the Generals than my DWS.

Go to your local tire shop and buy a used tire until the Conti DWS become available. Find out why they're not in stock, possibly discontinued?

I couldn't get a set of thest last year (19" size) so I went with the DW (which was still hard to get a set - had to use to retailers).

I live in a mild climate and have a beater. Must they be all seasons?

EDIT: forgot you had a flat. Just get a cheapy used tire or deal with a new, similar tire. You don't have a ton of options.

Had to wait 3 weeks to get mine last year (DW). I'm going wider this year and I might have to go in early and get them in so they'll be ready once Spring comes...

32,000 sets on back order! Discount Tire couldnt even get Conti to pull one out of their warranty stash.

Fortunately they are great to do business with. I got the Yoko 580s, and they prorated my shredded tire even though it wasn't under warranty and gave me $45 off the other one. Can't say enough good things about those guys.
