whitepdxgtwgn Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Put them on about a week ago. Drove over Mt. Hood on my way to Bend. They handled extremely well in the snow, weren't loud on the dry pavement and in the torrential downpour on the way back, they wouldn't hydroplane. They soak up the bumps well too. I have them mounted on my stockers so I can change to 18's in the summer. By the way, America's tire factory can get them for $620 and they they will take your RE92's off your hands for free!

mwiener2 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I love my M3's. Handle everything I throw at them with ease. I run 37/35 for highway and 32/30 for snow seems to do the trick My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVoMotion Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Just installed M3s last week. They handle very well in full ark-worthy rain we have been having. I get a snow test this weekend when I head to the Mts. I have them at 40/38 for the street. Sidewalls are firm. I will drop down to low 30s for the snow.

Kaa Kaa Man Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I'm curious. My Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25's are in their last Winter and next Fall I'll need to get new snow tires. Did any of you guys compare the M3's to the LM-25s -- if so, what conclusions did you reach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I'm curious. My Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25's are in their last Winter and next Fall I'll need to get new snow tires. Did any of you guys compare the M3's to the LM-25s -- if so, what conclusions did you reach? Blizzaks are more true to being called a "snow tire". What I mean by this is that I have heard/read that they are better in deep/packed snow and ice than the M3's. But, a consequence of this is that they wear quite quickly on normal pavement. The M3's perform very well in wet and dry conditions for a snow tire, and they still offer plenty of traction on snow. The M3's do not wear as fast as Blizzaks I'm told. We have had an abnormally mild winter here, so I am glad I got the M3's since they are much better in dry and wet conditions than RE-92's, besides being much much better in the snow. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVoMotion Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 First drive in the snow/ice with the M3s last week. Fully loaded wagon with four adults. Hit packed snow/ice through the mountain pass and had no issues with traction, going, stopping & turning. Went out to "play" on my own to test the traction out and was very impressed on crystalized snow. Loads of traction. Worth the $$ for me for sure.
