...the sidewall on the Continental Contisports that I had on my S6. I pulled into my spot at work and removed a massive piece of rubber from the gummy sidewall of the right front tire (amazingly rim virtually unscathed). I considered the tire was unsafe to drive on and used the debacle as a catalyst for another set of tires. I now am driving on the Nokian WRs-I live in Michigan and consider that this "all-season" tire will serve me well. I realize that many are proponents of building a set of tires for each season but I will try all season for now. Updates will follow on Nokian performance since a AW forum search does not reveal any experiences of prior owners of S6 + Nokian...

Unlike most all season tires which are geared toward summer use, the Nokians are geared toward winter. If you haven't come accross it yet, here's a review on them.

...that Nokian Tires are fairly difficult to find. The company appears to have more of a niche/narrow segment market approach. As a result, I was only able to find one vendor in Western Michigan.

Nearly every review I encountered described that Nokian are one of the few brands to bear the "Severe Service Emblem" on an all-season tire.

Nokians were designed for folks in northern climates with short summers and long winters.
