Dunlop M3's

just put Dunlop M3's on my 03 TLS...

driving in wisconsin...went with 205X60X16's

only had them a short while, i'll try to update as time goes on.

only had a couple inches of snow so far and mild slush/ice...

like the tires....very good traction in the snow...

doesn't corner as well as....but also 205X60 not 215X50

quiet...comfortable....glad i got 'em....for me (so far) good
trade off for the winter traction...

will be putting 500 interstate miles on them shortly and will
report back...

only a very short time on the car, but as of now, i'd recommend for winter
without hesitation

M3 update

recently put 500 interstate miles on the dunlop m3's, 75-85 mph, mostly
dry pavement....very quiet ride...comfortable....tracked well...no vibrations

an excellent high speed, dry pavement ride..


snow and ice the following day....M3's stuck like glue


only thing i haven't experienced with them (besides enough time) is
deep snow, and trust me, in wis. we'll get some deep snow before
the winter's over....

as of now....i grade these tires A++

will continue to update my experience with these tires...

Ive had them for 3 years in wisconsin, Got to use them id Deap snow around here and up in Minoqua/Arbor Vitae a few times and they are great. Like you said, snow and ice, they stuck like glue. Especialy when cornering and braking.

M3's stuck fast....had to work to break them free at all...

again, very pleased so far with winter traction...

end of winter review.......had the M3's for all winter now....

lots of dry interstate driving....lots of snow and ice driving....


LOVE these tires......maybe not as aggressive as a pure snow tire......but the
combo of dry and snow handling is awesome....

recommend without any hesitation......

ready to put my new yoko's on......finally got rid of the OEM michelins....

hope i like the yoko avid v4 as much as these m3's.......

again, if you're driving in the north......BUY THESE!!!!!
