I have the WinterSport M3 205/55R16 on steelies on my 20th. This is my second winter on them. Great Tire.
I installed a set of Dunlop SP Winter Sport M3's. This is a quick review of my thoughts on the handling and performance, so far. Wet Grip: Amazingly capable. Dry Grip: The tires grip reasonably well. Snow Grip: Amazing. Truly amazing. Ice Grip: grip was still very good. Low-speed Handling: I am fairly impressed with how these handle. High-speed Stability: Well, these are winter tires and feel well-suited to a sedan driven in a commuting style. Noise: None, so far. Comfort: Still, these are quite comfortable.
I had bridgestone s-03 last season. They were amazing, but don't last too long, which is why I might purchase these pirellis.
I am running 36 up front and 38 in the rear on my new 205/45-16 Bridgestone 750s. And I took it through the twisties pretty hard on saturday and it worked awesome even on the stock suspension! Good balance...not too much understeer.
based on my own prior experience.. skinnier tires are better in snow/slush.... so I bought a set of 205 50 17s myself... Dunlop Winter M2s for me!
I am on my second set of SP5000's also on my Passat. They are a great UHP all-season tire. The big knock on them is quick wear, even with a 340 treadwear rating.
The SP5000s were the tires I had on my MkII when I sold it. They were +2 and the best tire that I ran on that car in 13 years.
Not much noise, but have seen an uneven wear pattern, even with periodic tire rotation. For my Passat, at least, the rear tire position begins to create a "finned edge" to the shoulders of the tire.
My first snow tire purchase was a set of Blizzak WS-50s and I just couldn't deal with the squirmy feel for the amount of true snow/ice driving I encounter in a season.
I switched from the 3D to the Revo1 last year and I regret the purchase... The Revo1 is a better tire from a snow perspective but in all other aspects it's terrible! On dry roads the Revo1s wander and track all over the place, are extremely loud, are very slow on initial turn-in, and wear very quickly! In rainy and slushy conditions they are downright scary!!!
