Default Dunlop Wintersport 3D or M3

What's the difference between these tires? Is one an older version and which is the better choice. Seems to be $9 difference between M3(197) and 3D(208). Very good reviews for both, should I just get the cheaper of the two?

Default M3 is the older one. 3D is the new model. If you need replacements down the road

getting 3d's might be easier to get in 2-3yrs if something happens to a tire.

Default going into my 3rd season with the 3D on the A6 and just ordered a set for our A4.

M3 is the older version, but no slouch. can't really go wrong with either but I believe the 3D is quieter and slightly better in the dry.

Default Some M3 sizes are already "no longer available". It would be wise to get the 3D

as its the newer tire and getting a replacement will be easier if you ever need one.

Other then that, I love these tires. Had them on my old A4 and now on the S4 also.
