Default oh I gotcha.. although..
Im pretty sure those kind of upgrades involve a lot more than taking out a few rusted bolts & buying WD-40.. Not to mention the cost and time..

Default Quattro will get you going with even bad tires most of the time.... PROBLEM is STOPPING!
I understand the reasons you don't want to put the snows on.... but seriously, at the risk of sounding like an old fart (I am I suppose) it's just not safe to drive summer tires in the winter... period

Put the snows on, slow down and drive easy for a few months.

I hate my winter wheels and snows, and love them with all my heart at the same time.
