Eddie--Dunlop M3s--Can you describe these
tires? How are they different from the wintersport M2s. You mentioned a couple of days ago that you have the M3s available in 215/55/16, but i don't see them on the Tirerack website. thanks.

Saw a picture of a car with these and got to wondering...
...but they're not on the Dunlop USA site (yet?). However, here's a link to the German page, which you can translate at your leisure, or have Google do it in its own weird way.:
<a href="http://www.dunlop.de/de/data/productnews/index_fr.html">German M3 page</a>.
The "Lieferprogramm" link there has sizes.
The tread looks something like the M2s but maybe more siped. Hard to tell. HPH

yeah, no kiddin'
Dunlop has been witholding the M3 on us here in the US. They figure if they can keep succesfully selling the M2, then why introduce something new.
I suppose winter tire market is more competitive in Europe, so they had to rush to introduce it there.
On the other hand, reading all the great reviews of M2s, it's pretty amazing when you think that it's a 10-year-old design.

If the M2 is doing the job - no reason to change it
It is marketing 101.
Only if you have potential competitors that have a better tire would you need to introduce a newer (better??) tire.
I would not get the M3 till I was able to read some on it.
