RE: sno tahrs on a quattro

[glen powell <gpowell@acacianet.com>]

I've got an easy fox for this one!

I put Gislaved Frost IIs all-around on The Wife's 5000TQW
and leave the Comp T/As on my 5000TQ because I drive
135+ highway miles each day. I just take The Wife's TQW
on the few days that need the snos and enjoy the nice ride 
and quiet of the perf tires the vast majority of the time.

Moral of the story: buy your Wife a Q too!

I'm in Denver, and been through two winters with my Q.  I can't afford two sets
of tires, so I just got all season radials -- I like their performance in dry,
and just take it easy in the snow.  I've been out on some TOUGH days and the
car always does admirably. It had snows on it when I bought it, and they were
LOUD, LOUD, LOUD on pavement...........

My opinion would be go with all-seasons and if the cold snap does come, just
take it easy.......
