Hmmmm.......

Speaking of these Allroad tires, what are people's reactions to them?
I am considering a set for my A6Q sedan. I should probably translate:
I'm considering a set of these tyres for my A6Q saloon. :-)

I do a lot of semi-off-road driving, dirt roads, unimproved roads,
and some close-to-highway driving. A lot of snow, too.
