Nokian WRG2 vs. Dunlop Wintersport M3

Are there any comparisons out there?

Not that I've seen. I have .pdf file that's a test from Auto Zeitung that compares the Dunlop Winter Sport M3 and the Nokian WR. I'd think the newer Dunlop Winter Sport 3D would be a better comparison to Nokain WR G2.

By the way, the Dunlop Winter Sport M3 beat the Nokian WR in the snow test and wet asphalt test, but the Nokain WR was better on the dry pavement. The Continental Winter Contact TS 810 S won the test.

I use the Dunlop Wintersport M3 DSSTs here in Minnesota, and it's an excellent snow tire. I don't have any comparison data to the Nokian tire, but the Dunlop is significantly better than the Hankook W300 Ice Bear tires I used on a 350Z in the previous winter. I was very impressed with the snow performance of the Dunlops, as well as the dry road grip and overall ride.

Ditto on the excellent snow tire. I had a set for my '01 330i liked them so much that I bought a set for my '06 330i. When I get my next car (next year possibly) I expect I'll by them again.
