[s-cars] Tire recommendations?

[lee at wheelman.com]

Only reason to stay with the stock size is for snow performance. I 
ran a set of 245/45 16" tires on the S4 16x8 wheels. It *looked* 
stock but put some more tire on the road.

With regard to the occasional foray out in snow in summer 
tires...you'll do it once.

Buy tires wide enough to be useful in the dry and they'll *suck* 
in the snow.

I now run the high performance Toyo all season tires on both my 
A6s, and I swap them off for my Nokias at the sign of the first 
flake.
