what would be the most affordable and traction friendly for the winter months?

 

A lot of people use Blizzaks. LM-22's maybe? I'm also interested in finding out what everyone uses in this area.

 

i had LM22s on my 330ci and loved them. if i get tires for the S, ill probably try the Dunlops m3s.

 

I was recommended the dunlop m3s for winter. Supposedly pretty good in the snow and the dry.

 

Dunlop Winter Sport M3s. Awesome in cold and rain, great in snow, and unlike the Blizzaks you don't lose winter performance as the tire wears down.

I only felt a slight handling difference due to bigger sidewalls, but I got used to it within a couple of days. I still had grip, it just wiggles more than with the stock tires. Of course, i also have the winter tires mounted on AP1 rims, which may have something to do with it.

I think I'll be swapping out the summer wheels this weekend. The morning temps are down to around 45* now.

 

For what kind of car?

I have a set of Michelin Arctic Alpins for my SE-R. They were only like $39 each, have lasted 4 seasons so far, and are GREAT in the snow. Having a beater with 14" wheels is a big advantage for winter tire budgeting.

Oh, I assumed unless they mention a specific car (beater) then they are talking about for on the S.

 

Jim at the Tire Rack recommended the Dunlop Winter Sport M3s for the S2000. I ordered a set today, he said they work great in the snow and quite well in the dry. With the cold temps in the morning I have noted a loss of traction, and I have all season tires now. If I had these all season tires in the snow it would be a horror show.

 

And when I see people mention winter driving, I always assume that they can't possibly be talking about subjecting a poor S2000 to the snow.

Update, just ordered my dunlop winter m3's, Jim is the man!
