high performance street tires?

[McCohens at aol.com]

Had to add my experience, having driven all sorts of vehicles in all sorts  
of conditions.
 
I am sure there are situations where one needs winter snows on a quattro,  
but that rarely happens on the east coast and probably 1% in the worst areas for 
 snow.  I drove a rear wheel drive motorhome half way up the mountain in  
Park City one winter.  Did it with snows all but one week.  Six to  twelve inch 
snows every night forced me to put the chains on. 
 
 Here in PA, my quattro has Yoke AVS summer tires and is fine in the  snow, 
gotta be careful but they work.  Better then all seasons on a front  wheel 
drive car at least. You can't have one tire for all year if you like to  drive 
hard.  Actually you can't have one car that works all year.  My  80TQ has too 
little ground clearance to go out many days.  
 
Another observation.  I put cheap Kumhos on my MR2, it is  actually nice to 
break loose a little earlier.  High performance  doesn't have to be the only 
way to have fun.
