Bumping this up. Sounds crazy im justcbuying winter tires now but Im taking delivery of my car on Monday and I dont want to drive with summer tires on.

I got quoted $1200 for either Blizzak LM25 or Dunlope WinterSport M3 ROF. Which one should I go for. I have tried Dunlops 3d and M3 but really curious about the Blizzaks.

both are performance winter tires, they won't be that different from each other.

I have the LM25 they're great but they are discontinued. Considering this 1200 is steep. Is this for 225-40-18 square?

I would stick with the 3D

No this is 225/45/17 RFT

I priced it out on Tire Rack and it comes out to $187 USD per tire. Duties, shipping and taxes it comes out about the same.

Where can you get it cheaper.

I have 3D right now on my other car but need the RFT (cant carry spare)

LM25 or Dunlop winter sport are great for occasional snow. But if you actually want to drive in snow, go for some Hakkapeliita Rs. Amazing winter tires, especially in deep snow. They make my old "performance snow tires" feel like slicks in the rain, and still quite decent on cold, dry pavement. Can't rave enough about them.

Subaru and Mitzu guys LOVE the Hakkas.

They're that expensive because they're RFT. I don't use RFT and don't use a spare either season.

Agreed. But he's in Toronto, you're in Alberta. I had Hakka's on my Audi, the car was unstoppable. But boy are they soft on cold dry, which is what we usually have here. Can't sacrifice that dry performance personally.

Tires 23 said the LM25 arent all discontinued, only in some sizes


Maybe I will get the Dunlop M3's.

I thought Dunlop M3's are discontinued... :

I've been using them on my OEM 18's in Vancouver.

Very good snow tires.

Next time, I want to try Nokian Tires.
