[s-cars] Snow tires for the A4

[Mark Strangways]

Been using these tires on a few different cars / SUV's

http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/com/en/gislaved/automobile/themes/pc_tyres/winter/nord_frost_5/overview_nf5_en.html

They seem to be a very good tire, good grip in snow ice.
Priced very well, not the blizzack pocket book breaker.

Not sure if they can be had where you are, but might be worth a look.
