What do you recommend for a tire?
I am between the Bridgestone LM-22, Bridgestone WS-50 or
the Dunlop Winter Sport M2.

Thanks Mas. Driving to work in the rain with those AWESOME toyo Garits we bought (sarc. I never returned mine like you did), the back end kicked out on a degrading U loop off the highway.

Problem is, this is now my normal commute route, and it wasn't even cold out!!!

The wear is not bad, which is one very good aspect of the tire. Of the 24k miles, probably < 1/2 are on these tires. The tire changer thought they were new (ok, they're not THAT good). You're right though, they do seem to handle better in snow than on dry roads.

I'm bumping this up to the top one more time...

After being in traffic for 3-1/2 HOURS this morning... when it's usually a 20 min. commute for me...

I just want to remind everyone to PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

S-02's and freezing temperatures... do not mix well AT ALL!

There is a lot of great information in this thread... and there are quite a few veteran S owners here that have experienced driving the S during the winter...

Just please be careful
