Winter tire question (new thread!)
#11
Went with Dunlop Winter Sport M3, ranked highest on tirerack.
It's the only brand that manufactures 245/40/17 winter performance tires. I've found 2x215/45 (standing right next to me as I type), and the other 2x245/40 should arrive in a few weeks.

Dunlop Wintersport M3's here too. My s2k is a daily driver and while it doesn't snow much in my area, I do drive in lots of cold rainy conditions with occasional ice. The OEM RE050's seriously suck in those conditions and the M3's have been excellent.
I am on my second winter with these and would get them again in a heartbeat. FWIW I bought these with the ASA rims so I can just swap them out once the weather warms up. I do not use the M3's from spring through early fall.

If you're not driving in snow the LM22's will wear quickly. Lucky to get 10k out of the rears. I run 225/45-16's all around so I can rotate front to rear to save a little cash.
