    Does anyone have some good feedback they can throw my way? I plan on buying a set of winter tires for my OEM 18's. I have it narrowed down between the Bridgestone Bilzzak LM25 or the Dunlop SP Sport 3D. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. I did check the articles out. I just didn't know if anyone here could give me feedback regarding our vehicles.

    having driven on both. i personally feel the LM25 (h-rated) was better on ice than the Dunlop 3D (h-rated). The new 3D was better on ice than the old M3, but still not as good as the Lm25. Neither one was as good on ice as the the 'q-rated' blizzaks and dunlops. But they are respectable. Both the LM25 and 3D are better on dry than may of the other tires out there. They were both good in light to moderate snow ammounts.

    I ended up going back to blizzak revo-1's and dunlop DS2. Neither one of these 2 handle dry conditions well, but they both perform better in the snow & ice than the Lm25 or 3D.

    ^Thanks for the feedback. I went ahead and bought the 3D's from Tire Rack a couple of weeks back. They had them on sale and I was able to save around $70 bucks over the LM's. They 3D's handle a lot better than my Conti OE tires.
