[s-cars] Snow tires for the A4

[Steve Marinello]

Lee:

If you can't find anything else and want a set of S5's, you might be 
able to convince me to send a friend the set in may garage (with 
XtremeContacts on them).  I don't really need three sets of wheels with 
only one S-car now.  They were on the S6 sedan, which I sold with the 
16" Avuses.  ...and Ann would probably actually smile at one stack being 
gone, although I hadn't really thought of getting rid of them before.
