[s-cars] snow tires

[George Grubr]

Taka, all may depend on the tire compound (not that I am any expert on
subject) - Dunlops worked well for me in the environment where I drive and
did reasonably well to buy them again 2 more times. We have used other tires
such Pirelli for 2 other A6q we have and the results were nothing to talk
about.

I have Blizzaks on Jeep which is fine (perhaps even slightly better in deep
snow than M2 Dunlop) but not worth anything on wet/dry except the 50 mph
easy drive.

Used Michelins winter before and almost got killed because their performance
on wet road so I did not buy them again (had nothing to do with French
manufacturer for the record....), so .....

I will use the M3 Dunlop for my new car as well, there are not too many
choices in 18" size

Funny you mention this- I find that my car does not handle deep snow well at
all with my 225/45R17 Nokian NRWs. I was hoping to alleviate the problem by
going to a 205/50R17, but if the difference is negligible, I will stick with
my current tires. I know that NRWs are not "real" snow tires, but I thought
they would be comparable to the Dunlop M2.

BTW, I'm running these tires on 17x7.5" ET45 S4 Avus.
