winter wheel/tire choice?

[stumpjumper]

TireRack has a set of Mille Miglia Cup1's and either Dunlop M3's or Blizzak LM-25's for about $1600 delivered

I've got the M3's on my Audi and I love them for both dry and snow performance (for winter tires of course) there's also a handful of local shops I could go to (www.directire.com) which have a wider variety available though higher cost.

is there any reason I shouldn't go with these wheels and the M3's?

thanks,

Tom

The only reason to go with anything else would be if you buy used tires. I purchased Dunlop WinterSport M2s on 17" Mille Miglia cups used for $600-$800 2 years ago. They still have lots of tread after 3 winters(2 mine). I usually see used sets advertised for between $700-$1000 this time of year.

well that's a better answer than I could have hoped for :)
