Just my 2 cents worth, but there are no mainstream snow/winter tires that I'm happy with. Wifes 02 AR has the Audi rec. Dunlops. Not happy, they are too 'floaty' in the deeper stuff. My various audis (4kq, 90tq, 95 90q) all shared the same Pirelli snows, still not great. Next time i have to buy winter tires, they'll be hakka's for sure. Rolf 02 AR 90 90 TQ 95 90q sport
