I currently have the 210 Assimetrico's. They are not really a good snow tire, more of a all around winter tire. I drove my friends Passat with Blizzaks I found them to handle poorly in the dry weather but good in the snow. The 210's are the opposite, pretty good in the dry and modertately in the snow. Afterall a quattro with almost any snow tire will perform well. Scott 95 90Q Sport
