Dunlop Winter SP M3 or Hankook IceBear W300?
So, I called around and the 2 dealerships in my area are offering these 2 winter tires.
Dunlop Winter Sport M3: 215/55/17
Hankook IceBear W300: 225/50/17
The prices are approx the same for both. The diffference might be a few odd $$$.
So, from your experience, which tires are better for the Canadian winter in GTA?
Any and every advise will be appreciated.
Thanks.

The Dunlops are great in the winter! I have a set that I used last winter. My dad's M3 also has them! Coindentally, I'm selling my OEM wheels and tires (as a set) as I'm going to be storing my car starting this winter. If you're interested, let me know!!

I have the Icebears ... just swapped to my winters yesterday. Decent tires ... no problems with them after 2 winters.
The M3's might have an edge because they are thinner. I seem to remember the 225 for the Icebears being the only ones available.

its interesting to note that the Hankook's have gone with a similar tread pattern as the nokian. the new i*pike hankooks are almost identical to my old Nokian Haakapallita RSi's...those were just about the best snows i've ever used.
The hankook has a slightly different tread pattern and compound softness, but even the holes for the studs are the same lol. crazy asians and their knockoffs
