Hmmm...
I have a 2002 Audi A4 3.0 Sport Quattro 6-spd and just put the Blizzak 
LM-22s on a couple of weeks ago. I have driven it on dry pavement, wet 
pavement, snow, and some ice. No problems with handling in any of those 
conditions. Yes, ultimate dry traction is less than my summer tires, but by 
no means would I call it squirrely.
I am very happy, with these tires, though from what I have heard am not 
expecting tremendous tread life.
Not too mention I was able to get them for 40% less than what I could find 
Nokians for.
