That is tireracks new combo for the S4 to address the O problem due to the
torsen torque distribution (torque split) being optimized for dry rather
than snow as on the other Quattros.  Make sure you mount the Blizzaks on the
front, the Yokohama on the right rear and the Dunlop on the left rear.  This
optimizes for  a single driver on the LHS (Phil, if you get this combo, you
need to put the Yokohama on the left...)

Best :-),
