Anybody use these for winter use? I had blizzaks last winter, and while they were phenomenal in snow, 95% of my driving was on the NJ turnpike at highway speeds on clear roads. Needless to say, I'm looking for a winter tire that will perform a little better when it isn't snowing.

Alex, you said you like the dunlop m3's, but they aren't offered in a size I want for my 15inch holeys; and the contis are cheaper. Is the performance comensurately lower?

last year was a pretty warm winter, which was horrible for snowboarding.

some more options.... since you're leaning to a 195/60 r15 tire....
Green Diamond Icelander (similar pattern)-- if you don't mind retreads with carbide chunks

Then one of my co-workers, who's part of the local Jersey Porsche club uses Vredestein snow tires on his Benz C230 hatch -- the Porsche club tends to use an old tirerack rival, www.eurotire.com

Also consider Nokian RSI. STS is a retailer of them. Or find them online.
