Default Winter Tires

What winter tires are good on a A4. I have been using Blizzak ws 70's on my other cars but I am looking at Michalin pa2's and Michalin Xice Xi3"s as well. Any suggestions?

I have had Xi2's on previous cars and really like them. I have Xi3's ready to go for my 2014 A4 but have not put them on yet.

I ended up getting the Blizzak WS 70's plus wheels from TireRack. I have these on two other vehicles and they work great in the nasty stuff. I did have one issue though. When I ordered the wheels I chose wheels with a 35mm offset. I realized right after I ordered them that the stock wheels are 45mm offset. I called TireRack on this and they said the 35mm's will work with no problem. I'm hoping they are right.

You need to look at the width and the offset combined.
I have 18x8 ET35 for my winters.
Summers are 19x8.5 ET 38
