winter tires

[rickmon33]

im looking to buy winter tires, what do u guys suggest the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 or Dunlop Winter Sport M2? or any others?

Michelin Arctic Alpin is another excellent choice. You can't go wrong with any of the three.

I running the oem pirelli p6's and they are outstanding in the wet & snow of Colorado.

I use the Dunlop M2 and they are great tires. In many ways they are superior to the OEM All Season Goodyear RS-A's that came with the car. The Dunlops ride smooth, quiet, have great handling and snow traction. Could not be happier.

according to tirerack.com's user reviews dunlop m3 got the highest rating, followed by the m2. (last i checked about a month ago anyway..) m3 is an upgrade to the m2, so i'd say that's a good choice.

i heard blizzaks, due to the block tread design isn't all that great in the rain. i was ready to go and buy the m3s, but i couldn't secure the rims that i wanted, and decided to just drive my other car in the winter.. (i sort of regret that decision.. i miss driving my car..

I run on LM-22s and they are great in the snow. However, I have noticed that you do have to slow down in the rain. They just don't grip all that well on slick roads. But otherwise, they serve their purpose in the snow

Average Jae, you're probably thinking of the Blizzak WS-50's, which weren't that great in the rain or dry roads, but they are absolute monsters in snow and ice. The LM-22's, the newest Blizzak tires, are supposed to be great for dry- and wet-road performance, while sacrificing very little snow and ice traction. I have heard from many people (including Tweet) that the LM-22's are GREAT snow tires.

It was pouring all day today, and I was driving pretty fast. Never had any problems with hydroplaning or need for DSC kick in at all. These dunlop WS 2's are great in the wet stuff.
