I'm nowhere near an authority on snow - we see it once or twice a year, 
and y'all probably wouldn't even notice it.  But I can say that while the 
Dunlop D40 M2 is an awesome performer on dry pavement and gets by in 
rain, I would NEVER put them in snow.  The most consistently quiet brand 
tire is Michelin (IMHO).  I think they are unmatched for quiet, smooth 
performance - of course I don't know a thing about their snows.  Another 
of my opinions - Goodyear stinks!  You can ALWAYS do better than a 
goodyear tire.  I hear the NEW Dunlop D60 A2 is a good tire.  Any 
experiences with the D60 in snow anyone?  

BTW, has Dunlop discontinued the D60 M2?  I loved that tire.
