Maxy likes to point out the Tire Rack survey which rates that Dunlop Winter Sport M3 as the best winter tire

Hey I don't drive aggressively anymore. I used to, when I had 200HP to work with. Now I've got a whole lot less than that, so there's not all that much fun in driving the car like an *** like I did with the Maxima. I just have some fun on twisty roads once in a while

Part of the reason the M3s are rated so highly is because people love them on dry pavement as well. Some people ride on them all year, even though they're in the 'performance winter' category.

And no I don't have my M3s on yet. It's supposed to be in the low 60s today! In a way, I'm anxious to put them on. In another way, I'm quite content to see my car looking its best (with the alloys).
