FYI,<p>for those of you considering snow tires for<br>travel to california ski resorts, you might<br>consider this bit of legal speak below.<br>i'm not sure tires like the Pirelli<br>P-7000 SS or even Dunlop WinterSport M2<br>legally qualify as mud & snow tires.<p>personally, i would like to outfit my car<br>with the P-7000SS, but could be defeating<br>the whole point for getting the A4 to begin<br>with (go skiing w/o putting on chains)<p>"Snow Tires"<p>Snow Tires The California Vehicle Code section 558 defines a<br>snow-tread tire as follows: "A 'Snow-tread tire' is a tire which<br>has a relatively deep and aggressive tread pattern compared with<br>conventional passenger tread pattern". Snow-tread tires can be<br>identified by examining the sidewall of the tire where the<br>letters MS, M/S, M+S or the word MUD AND SNOW have been stamped<br>into the sidewall. <p><p>http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/chcontrl.htm
