I've never bought winter tires before. Are a set of 4 new Dunlop Winter Sport M2 worth $500?

Default it seems too much, didn't the m2 precede the m3, which precedes the 3d?

shouldn't they be at clearance price as a couple of seasons old? or am i wrong?

500 is a good price for current model upscale snows

seems too high for the older design and look for something a tad narrower for winter use.

Tirerack still lists M2's but not that size. I just ordered 215/50/17 M3's from Pete @ Tiresource
