but not quite yet. After all, the Pilot Sports are A/S's. The new Dunlop Winter Sports have a really great looking directional tread. Curious to see them on the car.

If these are the Dunlop M3s, and they look like them, read my post in the General discussion section about my BMWCCA track day. These are the tires I used on the track!
They are outstanding performance tires for a winter/snow tire.

I read that and it's quite amazing. Good to know though.

polepositionwhere do you live that you need winter wheels?? besides.. your wheels are black black they should even be able to withhold a harsh winter.. if they were silver/chrome yes maybe but those are black man I don't think your gonna have any probs with those.. but then again why risk messin up the nice ones when you get beaters

Long Island. And it's not about the finish on the wheels. It's about the traction from the tires. The 20" pilot sports are too wide and too low profile for a proper winter set up even though they're all seasons. Michelin says they can handle light snow but they're still too wide.
