Default Winter Tires for an S8?
I just moved to Denver and was wondering if dedicated winter tires are recommended. If so, any advise on brands/models? Thanks, Dave

Default Yes!
I have Dunlop Winter Sport M3's on 18" wheels. They're great.

Default Agreed, Dunlop Winter Sports...
2001 S8 on 18x8 Moda R6's (think they're M2's). Two seasons in Tahoe...work great. I drive pretty fast, so the Mountain passes have taken their toll. I plan to run them down this summer and replace them for my third season.

Default If you go dedicated snows, might I suggest Blizzak LM-22`s?

I put the M3s on 17 inch wheels. Like a puppy enjoying the snow.
