Default Dunlop Wintersport M3's ROCK in the Rain and Wet Roads

Street racing on the way home last night (joking) the rain was coming down hard! Bit of hail mixed in too. The Dunlop Wintersports never showed any hint of hydroplaning, loss of traction, it was like being on the dry!

Oh how I love these tires...and in fact they are not a half-bad all-season tire IMHO. Wear is great and dry traction is not too shabby either.

Default I got M2's and I just can't kill them

Bought them used from someone who turned his b5 s4 lease in. They already had at least one season on them. I am going on my 3rd winter. I want to use them for all their worth because they won't fit (maybe barely) when I install my brakes later this spring.

Default Yeah, they're good for what they are. But I can't wait to switch back to the Hankooks for summer.

245/45R16 Ventus RS2 >>>>> 225/50R16 M3 in the dry and in the wet. It's night and day.

Default Not sure what I am going to do this Summer...hard to justify spending 800 on a wear item..sigh.

Plus I need to figure out what I am going to do for rims..since my Migle Spiders are all bent. Might see if they are fixable at Woody's here in Denver.

Default The Hankooks were pretty cheap. <$100 for my size. Check 'em out. Great tire.

Everything is a wear item if your timeframe is long enough
