Test fitting my new shoes for winter
205/55R16 Dunlop Winter Sport 3D's mounted on 16x7 Sport Edition F7's. Seem like really good tires, nice balance between dry performance and traction in moderate snow.
For the past 7 years I was running a set of Blizzaks mounted on 15" steelies, finally I can do the A8 brake upgrade. :-)

Nice!!! I'm running 15" oem 8-spokes ,considered Dunlops on my swings
let us know how you like them when the snow starts flying compared to the Blizzaks. I'm considering bigger brakes also in the future.

We have the exact wheel on wifey's Mini CS for the winter. Studded Winterforce tires though. ;)
I have the stocker '99 15" alloys with Studded Winterforce as well........ Great tire for massive snow and ice...... not in any way shape or form a "performance snow". That said I LOVE them here in Maine!

...And why do you think they make hub caps? ;-)
Steelies aren't too bad when they're brand new (they make your car sorta look like a German police interceptor), but they quickly start to rust in Chicago winters and end up looking, well, ugly.
