narrowed search to Dunlop winters...

Im definitely close. I think I want to go with 195/65/15s on Passat Rims.

Here are the choices:
Dunlop Graspics - 195/65/15 25.0 diameter with 831 revs/mile
Dunlop Sport M2 - 195/65/15 25.2 diameter with 830 revs/mile
Rim width on both is 6.0.
vs stock:
Dunlop SP8000 - 205/55/16 24.9 diameter with 833 revs/mile

The Graspics are closest to stock it looks and they are in the $55 range each.

Any comments appreciated...

I'd go with the Graspics if you anticipate a lot of snow and ice on the roads where you live. If roads are predominantly dry, go with the WinterSports. I'm in NJ, and that's what I did. Putting them on this week, even though it's 73 degrees here today.

Good luck.

Im in Southern NY and Im expecting a lot of snow but we too have 70 degree temps.

I dont know what to think.

The Winter Sports I think are more expensive.... Oh well.

195/65-15 "T" rated 118 mph $80 Tirerack.
Seemed like the best fit for around Boston w/trips to ski country.
I'll have them on this weekend so I can give impressions then.
