My drive to work is 90% on highways early mornings and late in the evenings in the winter months. I’m usually on it before the snow plows makes its way so it’s important for me to have what I perceived to be better snow tires for those drives over the look. Although It was definitely a downer for me yesterday when I took off my 21inchers but I’ll get over it…. besides with the snow we got last year if I kept the 21” setup I would not see very much of the tire as it would be covered by the snow.
Aside from the 21” being a standard on the SQ’s, I agree with Jay that there’s other very noticeable markings, one that I like the most is the Stealth of between the SQ Vs. the Q5…..I know what I’m driving that’s all that matters to me, not so much what others can visually see.
Besides, never just the run of the mill Q5’s….they’re all nice… ☺

And this is what I like from Audi... if you dont know these cars, you will have a hard time telling the difference between a A4/S4 A5/S5 Q5/SQ5..
But guys like us know what is the difference between a Q5 and a SQ5 and we know that the little S gives you alot of smile at the end
In winter here... Snow Driving Performance over look all the way.
and I dont want to damage the 21 by all the stuff they put on the road.
