Dunlop has discontinued this tire and it has benn replaced with the DS-2. It is being sold by Wal-Mart, but only Wal-Mart. If you have a problem you might have a hard time finding a replacement tire. Otherwise, it is a good tire. Just a bit older technology.

redsun, checkout the DS-1 mixed reviews in tirerack... since you drive mostly on highways, I encourage you to go with high performance winters, H-rated or even V-rated.  Dunlop M3 is great according to tirerack consumer survey results

I ran a search for your car in tirerack and 1st pick was Dunlop M3.  Now go call Mort and order your tires now before they run out   :)

tiretrends selling them for $147 per tire... good price!

Edit: I've ordered 2 sets of winters from Mort in the past and both sets were Hankook W300 IceBears.  Good people there in tiretrends  ;)

I had a set on my 03 Vibe. Those tires totally transformed that car. i would get stuck in 2" of snow with the stockers & with the Graspics I was unstoppable in very deep snow & black ice hi-way driving was a breeze.

I had the Graspic DS1 on my MINI for three winters.  They offered excellent deep snow bite and decent (for an all-out snow tire) dry road handling.  I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
