[rve]

I'm running Dunlop Wintersport 3D 225/50/R17 on my E46 M3 both front and rear for the last two winters and they work fine. I went for bigger tyre (stock size is 225/45/R17) in order to keep the clearance higher, though car's slick view is suffering big time with such narrow tyres but c'est la vie. Too lazy to make spacers for the winter period. Grip is all I need.
