Tires Hankook or DUNLOP
Just put the Ion Evo 235/35/20's on my '22 M3P and I'm loving them so far. Great grip in dry cold conditions, light snow (that's all I've been able to test so far this year) and in the wet. Almost passed them over due to another poster that was having serious buyers remorse, but can say that I'm very pleased with them. They're very quiet (mine came stock with the P-Zero summers) so that's my point of reference. These are noticeably firmer, but seem to have gotten a little more compliant as I've broken them in.

I kept my stock Dunlops for about a year & they did well for me on/off road & with snow.
Dupa ce am stat sa fac comparații intre ... Multele modele de anvelope, tyre lab, tyre reviews... Urmarit oferte... Degeaba ca se termina stocu pana ma decideam eu, m-am hotărât la Hankook winter icept rs3.
Ieri le-am pus, azi am mers 100~km cu ele.
Pt mine a meritat. Nah, momentan n-am dat de zapada, dar ride comfort e super, si pe ploaie nu am avut probleme.
Eu recomand hankook winter icept rs3, pe ud (cum sunt majoritatea iernilor in ultimul timp) se comporta perfect
They've been performing great with no issues. But as you can tell from me getting 42,000 miles out of my original Michelin Pilot Sport tires... I don't drive very hard. Tires come with 10/32 tread depth and today, with 53,000 miles on the car... America's Tire said they're still at 8/32 tread depth after 11,000 miles. Anyhow... tires are holding up well... don't seem to be any more noisy or quiet than the original OEM spec tire... and are holding up great.
The summer Dunlops that come with the VB are not good for winter use. I'd suggest getting winter tires or at least all weather tires to be on the safe side. I got Michelin CrossClimate 2's and will be rolling into winter with those here in eastern Oregon.
I did not like the Hankooks, they were ok this winter, but very loud.
Which slick do you have exactly? I ran the d212 medium and endurance. Absolutely hated them. The medium got destroyed in one day. Started losing grip after 3 sessions already. Then I tried the endurance compound, but it also lasted only 2 days and kept losing grip. Apparently they are very sensitive to pressure, temperature and shock settings.
I put a Dunlop slick rear on recently and had a ton of trouble with it. It needs a ton of heat in order to grip but I never developed any trust in it and it has the worst traction of any tire I've used.
