Dunlop what? SP8000s?
If so, they will perform TERRIBLY!! (as in the now you gotta replace your cracked front bumper terrible) I'd get either good all seasons, or preferrably a separate set of winter tires and wheels.

I don't have any experience with Dunlops in snow but...
I got through two winters including last year's terrible snow with Kumho Ecsta 712s. They did just fine although I still wouldn't recommend summer tires in snow. You may be able to move due to the quattro system in your S4 but you will have a real hard time cornering and stopping your car.

I'd agree and go with snows if you can afford them.
I went through two boston winters with 225/40/18 goodyear hp ultras (summer high performance tire) and I had no problems what-so-ever. I could start, stop very well in the snow. Now, I wasn't tracking the car around town when it came down, but just getting from point A to B was easy-going and non-eventful.
But, if you have the $$, snow tires make a lot of difference= at least that's the consensus around here. g'luck! :-)
