All Season Tires on 20 inch S 8 Rims ?
 

I know all season tires are offered as a choice for the A 8 and A 8L 19 inch rims. I'm considering purchasing a new (2007) S 8 but due to living in a snowy climate have some concerns about keeping it on the road. I'd rather not have to have a second set of tires and rims. I have all seasons on my 2004 A8L now and they are quite satisfactory year round. Any thoughts or insights ??

Michelin has half a dozen 20" Pilot A/S sizes available...
 

I wouldn't hesitate to go that route.

I have these tires on my 20s and they are fine for light snow but they are not effective beyond a couple of inches.

Dealing with 2 sets of wheels and tires can be a hassle but I feel much more secure during the winter season with my 18in wheels with Blizzaks LM-22 tires plus the winter road conditions here in Ohio are not kind to 20in wheels.

I'll go with winter wheels, as roads and temps in Boston can be extreme in winter...
 

and would like to know if anyone has experience with Nokian tires. I also understand that the S8 will have quite a few wheel options, although I like the multi-spoke 20's seen at the shows so far.

What wheel options have you heard of ? Any other details/options/choices about the S8 not found here or on Audi's website ?
