[s-cars] Thompson's Vermont snow tire choice

[Thompson Smith]

Lee and Ingo,

Yes you are correct, I use the eco studs. Super quiet and grippy. I like the
newer Hakki Q tread pattern from what I've only seen, but IMHO the eco
studded Hakki 1s are all about pure snow, where it sometimes can linger for
months here in Vermont.

If you guys have great correspondence and recommendations from other
studless Hakki Q users on the //S4 I might consider these over the Hakki 1s.
Since the //S4 will have 205/55-16 and not the 195/65-15s this might be a
better rouuute.

I was looking at my new 16" ATS type 10s next to my old 17" Cup 1s and they
*look* like 17s. Must be the fact the six spokes go all the way out to the
rim edge and are straight.

>> Since I had NRWs on the //S4, and my wife complained that they were not as
