Got MZ-03 Blizzaks today

Ok, so I decided to keep my stock 18" rims. I hope to be able to survive this winter in Chicago....will see.
I have just gotten a shipment of brand new Bridgestone's Blizzaks MZ-03s. Tirerack was out of the Dunlops. I believe the MZ-03 is the only 18" winter tire available on the market today.
I hope it is better then the Dunlop.
Has anyone had any experience with them yet?

Feedback is appreciated.

i kept my stock rims for the winter too but i put on pirelli winter 210's. hopefully they will work well.

did you get 245's for the rear? i had initially ordered 245 in the pirelli's but the dealer wouldn't put them on. he had installed them on another m5 a few weeks prior and the tire separated from the rim while going around a corner at high speed. he wasn't sure if it was a tire defect or the rim was too large for the tire. anyway he installed 265's on the rear and 235's up front.

I just got my Dunlop Winter Soprt M2 tires. I will hopefully get them on in a few days. Maybe we should all try to give a brief review for everyone since we all got different brands.
