Anybody install regular ZR rated tires (M&S rated) rather than snow specific tires?

Default Anybody install regular ZR rated tires (M&S rated) rather than snow specific tires?

I had Dunlop SP 9000's on my sport pkg. A4 and the thing ate through the snow. Obviously the stock Potenza's on my S4 are crap so should I consider this? I live in southern PA and get snow less than 5 times per year.

TIA

Default Pirelli P7000 SuperSport

I tried Pirelli all-season P7000 SuperSport 225/45R17 last winter and don't seem to be too bad (much better than the stock P6000).

Good enough traction for light snow but antilocks seem to come on early when trying to stop on packed snow. I may try dedicated snow tires (wish there was a steel wheel combo for S4).

All seasons are a compromise, OK for summer, fair for winter, not great at anything.

Dunlop SP 9000's aren't all-season's either....consider youself lucky you got by on them w/your A4.
