Just wanted to put my .02 in.
8 inches of snow and passed several front wheel drive cars up a hill on route 20 east out of Westfield MA today. They were spinning their wheels and turning sideways. Pulling from left to right and back again. When it was safe to go by, I left it in 2nd, traction control only came on for a second and around them I went.

Just plain awesome.

Yup! So far so good, no wild spinning out of control problems yet... :D

Glad to see some more positive input about these tires after spending $750. We had about 7 inches of snow last night and my dealer is putting the M3's on right now. They said it took several guys to push my car into the garage this morning so the M3's have to be better than whatever it would be like to drive the stockers in the snow. Fortunately I'll never have to find that out myself, ordered them just in time.

:cool: The best thing about the M3s is that while they are great in snow, unlike most other snow tires they provide excellent traction and performance in dry weather, without any road noise...

I'm glad I don't have to worry about snow too much, but if I did, these tires sound like they are awesome!

The stockers aren't even that great in the rain, IMO. I don't think I'd like to experience them in the snow. Besides, that's why I have an AWD/4WD truck. :D

I had Michelin Pilot sports on my 2000 Vette and that thing wouldn't even move in the snow...it took one rotation for the treads to fill with snow and then that was it.

Mine have been great as well! I've only had them one day, but so far so good!

So far I have only used in my in rain and light snow but that have been great however I think the dry performance of them is not that great, I have a stock GTO except for these tires everything is bone stock, if I am on the highway and going around 65 to 70MPH and I floor it and get the transmission to downshift the Low Traction indicator will come on and I can feel the car get a little squirelly. Now saying that I would reccommend these tires to anybody.

Almost makes me want to get the goat out of storage and slap on a pair...um I think not.

Man, Dunlop M3's are sold out everywhere I've looked.

I have to settle for Bridgestone Blizzak WS 50's. They go on today.

I have a question.. I have the 18" wheel package, would I be able to go 245/45 on my rims? I'm looking at getting the Dunlop M3's need to know if these will fit my rims without an issue.. thanks..

I installed my M3's today and I love them!! They are surprisingly quiet. Most of the snow melted around here, on the roads anyway. I look forward to the next storm so I can test them out. :cool:

You can in the back but the fronts will most likely rub on the struts. There are a ton of posts on this particular subject.
