To each their own. However, you might want to know something about a organization, their staff, and their methods, etc. prior to dismissing them so quickly. 'nuff said.
Hell Scott, if the Swedish Bikini team has some decent tire test data, I'd be happy to see/use it. I used what I had access to. Annecdotal information from swedish chefs(Bork, Bork), not withstanding.
None of these tires are unsafe in the wet/dry, they just don't excel there. For somebody in Tahoe, Truckee, or drives the summits often in the winter, the results I have presented may be perfectly applicable. I have been clear all along about my intent for this thread. Feel free to start a "2005 3 season tire" or "2005 pretty good snow/ice/wet/dry" tire thread.
My intent is not to diss any other tires, including the M3s, only summarize my findings for use by those who might be interested.
I personally use W300s cause they are cheap, and are probably better than the HTR+s on the Audi, and actually did OK in the wet at Laguna Seca, but I got no science to back that up.
