what's your favorite winter tire?

is it cheaper to buy winter tires in spring/summer or is that just a myth?
thnx.

I had the M3's and now the 3D's. Loved them both. 3D's have slightly less noise thus far.

Default I've run them on my A4 and the RS - could chose any tire and have run Blizzaks before

But love the 3Ds

Default Haven't heard one bad word about them.

But I went with blizzak lm25s and love them. Awesome in the snow, drivable on ice and ride like a good all-season on dry pavement. Amazing all-around winter tire. I imagine that they're extremely similar to the dunlops.

Default Great traction - they were great on the A4 and when I got the RS

I was unsure how they would work with all the torque the V8 delivers. But unless I deliberately tried to break the tires loose they gave great traction on ice (which I consider the worst case for me - as one never knows when one will run into ice whereas snow traction is a given.)

Thx. So my nxt set should be 3Ds, not M3s I guess.

Default If they have your size - some sizes they still only have the M3s

which are not bad either
