[s-cars] Snow tires for the A4

[David Kase]

Also FWIW, my local tire guy gave me a good deal on WR's for my wife's 
van.  215/65-16 for $118 m & b

I also had RSI's quoted in 225/55-17 ($140 each c&c) and 225/45-17 ($159 
each c&c).

I am happy to have your size quoted if these prices look good.

Oh!  I almost forgot.  Paul, I have an old set of Sears studded 15" snow 
tires from my old Mazda pick up.  You are free to pick them up to put 
them on the  930 for winter traveling.
