Default New Winter Tires...

Dunlop has a new winter tire available called the 3D. I'm sticking with the Dunlop M3's (since I just bought them) but this one might be worth a look.<ul><li><a href="http://www.dunloptires.com/dunlop/display_tire.jsp?prodline=SP+Winter+Sport+3D&amp;m rktarea=Winter">Dunlop Winter Sport 3D</a></li></ul>

i just got the euro 18X8.5 wheels and I was deciding between:

Blizzak
M3s
and now the 3d

Any other suggestions?

I also just got the euro 18 RS4 wheels. Mounted 225-45-18 M3's on them on Friday. Haven't tested them in the snow yet, but the ride is not too squirmy or noisey.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for them and did they come with center caps and lugs?

They initially quoted me $669 per wheel, but I managed to get them to give me 10% off. I called around to two other dealers who also quoted $669. Did you get center caps with yours?

They look like they will fit but they look to be a hassle to get in/out (and easy to break in the process). When you find out if they are included in your price, please let me know.
