M3's, I've had a set for my b6 & my AR. Great on snow and ice, good in the wet & dry.

Default This is my third season on the WR's. They have been nothing but

exceptional in all conditions. I only run them for winter so no experience with dry weather or rain. They are great in the snow no matter how deep. I just set my nephew up with the M3's for his new GTO and he loves them, got a deal $200 ea. for 18's. Live in Denver travel up the mountain for skiing almost every other weekend with no issues.

Default I wouldn't bother running WRs all season...to much of a sacrifice in performance.

But for winter weather...they are awesome.

Can't go wrong with either one. Love my M3's in the snow and at 80+ in the dry.

I've run both. M3's now but I'd pick the "nokes"

Default Hey Louis! Nice to 'see' you..

WHen my son had the R32 we put on the Nokina WR tires...LI to Hartford and U of Hartford driving?
They were flawless and helped him keep contol even when other cars around him were loosing it.
Som use them as intended as an all season tire.. but they are SEVERE WEATHER RATED which is why others use them as Winters and have summers to change off to.

With the way our area gets snow (on aand off) and how they get the roads cleaned--fast, I'd go with the WR and if you have the cash..get a good summer set of rubber.. You saw how my AVONS held on the Cliffs drive. They are not expensive tires.

We keept the WRs and they are going on the EVO..same size lucky me.

Default Falken Zeiks 512's

Better than stock in the dry and wet. No snow here to try them yet...

WR's....the M3's don't have the same lateral "hold" in the snow.
