I've just mounted some new Dunlop M3's on my '03 9-5 Aero 1000 miles ago. They have an awesomely aggressive tread pattern and are siped everywhere just like the Nokian's. I have to say they are not one bit noisier than the OEM P6's that just came off. It is rated well at Tirerack as a non-studded traction tire and doesn't feel too squishy at all. I did get some very predictable understeer (a little earlier in the G-force envelope than I had hoped) when pushing hard through a downhill corner on dry pavement but otherwise plenty sticky. Going to the mountains next weekend so I'll let you know what the traction is like.
