Hello, there is quite a lot of snow with us (about 15 – 20 cm). I drive a 5 Series BMW E39 535i with completely new Dunlop Winter Sport 3D, size 225/50-16 (DOT 4009, about 2000 KM running). I couldn’t drive on the closed snow cover at all, the car went away on slight climbs to the side and straight went nothing at all. Isn’t it normal, right??? I had the same tires on my 3 Series, but as 205 Series 16″, with DOT from 2007. With the car I had so to say no problems and was thrilled. Both on snow, wet and dry road. With the 5 I even have problems with dry road, as the ASC constantly intervenes. Has anyone had similar experiences that the Dunlop D3 from 2009 are somehow different? Greeting Frank
