the sidewall of the M3 makes all the difference… just about any snow tire will get the job done in actual snow if you are driving smart… but for the other 90% of the time when the ground is just cold you’ll want a tire that’s fun to drive on and this is where the M3 shines. I’ve run them on my FWD maxima and the evo.
I vote these last two posts as the most non-off topic informative posts on nyspeed of the month. Thank yous.
