Exclamation Dunlop Winter Sport M3

Dunlop Winter Sport M3

Anyone used these on their es300?

I was looking at the
Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22
but they didnt rate as high as the dunlop. and the Dunlops are cheaper and have better tread life.


I live in colorado and snow up here can get icey sometimes. that snow rating is something that caught my attention.

What tire size do you need in winter rubber 3rd? & what is the tread life of both you mentioned?

I wanted to check & see if any other winter tires were available for you to consider. The two you mentioned are the only ones in that size. I'd go with the Dunlop's. How many miles are they good for?

I've wore out a lot of snow tires over the last 20 years. The Michelin PA2's are quieter than the street tires I threw out. Grip in deep snow is acceptable, very good in the slush or ice/hard pack surfaces. Not cheap but well worth a few dollars more if you put a lot of winters miles (15,000 last winter) on them.

I don't use winter tires, only all seasons........I'm switching to the best premium all season tire currently on the market soon, being the Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread that has an 'ice block' for excellent winter traction......it's all I need here in Toronto.

Here is some more info:

Go to the wheel & tire section of this site as we have a rep (Brandon I think) from tirerack.....PM him to see what kind of a deal he can give you.
