Yes,

I have them on my 02 A6 2.7T and will put them on the 200 20v soon. I used
to use Kumho and Hankook until they discontinued all the sizes I run on my
aging fleet. Korean tires are actually good. Lots of F1 and rally experience
in these companies. 

Then Nexen Winter is actually a nice tire. A little noisier than the
Wintersports 3D I used to run but not bad for what it is. Solid feel, nice
ride, good grip, awesome price. I run 16" wheels in the winter.

Hi guys, looking into winter tires for my 02 S6.  Had Hakka RSI's on  the 
old 200, great tire but not going to invest~$900 into them for the S6   My 
neighbor manages a Tires Plus.  He recommends Nexen winter tires (V  rated)
for best bang for the buck in an inexpensive snow.
 
Does anyone have any experience with them.  Never though I would put Korean
tires on a German car!
 
Thanks Pete.
 
PS the guy who brought my Avant has done a great job of restoring it!   
Good to see it still living!

I had general altimax on my golf and it was unstoppable as I bough studded
ones for the 200. I'm told they're rebranded gislaved nordfrost

I think they're available up to 17's

I'm running these this winter on the 95 S6. They seem OK so far with the
studs. Picked them up used at a good price.  Graspic., glacier grip II in
