Are those winter tyres? They look pretty nice. I thought that design won't suit the elegant B9.

Yes ...

Details:
Drove on Michelin All Seasons on my A6 last winter in Lake Tahoe, CA. They were OK but stopping distances and grip when icy left me desiring a better winter tire. Hence, investing in winter wheels/tires and having spring/summer/fall wheel/tire set.

Is there a major difference between metallic paint vs pearl paint? Will pearl require a different set of care or scratches show up more/etc??

Thank you kindly.
I had a Daytona Gray S5 Cab. It had flecks of green and magenta in it. Quite amazing in the light. I think that's the pearl effect. However, I think there is an extra charge for it with the A4. Mine was a special order, and there was an additional $2,500 tab. Of course, that was before they made it standard. :-(

I do think the pic of the Monsoon Gray looks great.

In the Canadian options, daytona grey costs as much as getting the metallic paint ($890).

Congratulations Scott - your car looks amazing! Great choice for color and wheels. Counting the days until mine arrives next month.

Default Torsen or Ultra AWD?
I'm very interested in buying a CPO 2017 A4 Sedan (build date 3/30/16) but can't seem to get solid confirmation from the local dealers, VOA customer service etc if in fact it does have a Torsen all wheel drive system.

Could the Quattro experts please chime in...

Last pic before I swap out to winters. Car is a little dirty and bugs me but it will only get worse from here onward. Snow is coming...

Nice wheels. What size and brand and what winter tire are you running?

Thanks. The wheels in the pic above are the stock 19" wheels on Hankook summer rubber. It's the wheels we get on the S-Line which is considered the Sport model in Canada. Those wheels are from the previous gen S4 if I'm not mistaken.

I'll be putting these winters on this weekend:
