This is one of the biggest problems (misconceptions) Quattro drivers face,
it is easy to "go" in these cars, it is easy to go too fast for your tires.

biggest improvement with winter over any other tire. Don't believe it? Try
ice racing your Quatt, but make sure you have a tow rope to pull you off the
berm.
