Default Dunlop Winter Sport M3 snow tires

Has anyone had any experience with these winter tires? I'm looking at the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 and the Nokian WR for my '03 2.7T. Will buy new, smaller wheels for the winter tires.

Default I got them for my A6 last winter from TireRack

They worked great for me given all of the snow we had in the Philadelphia area last winter. They were still really new at the time so there were no real reviews on them yet. I had no complaints, but I also have nothing to compare them to either. Never owned snow tires before.

YMMV,
Eric

I was thinking of getting the M3's also. I think CR ranked the M2 higher than the Nokian Hakka's

I'm thinking of the M2's (NY-metro area). How was the dry handling?

The M3's were rated more highly than the Blizzak LM-22's on the TireRack's survey. Unfortunately, I cannot find much info on the Nokian WR's. I know the WR's are a good overall tire. However, I am really looking for the best snow/ice tire without sacrificing too much in the way of dry handling. One concern of mine is the LM-22's reputation for not wearing too well. I cannot find any wear info on the M3's either.
