Winter is coming, what snows are you running on the RS3?

I have a preference from my other car, and believe it or not, I love the directional General Altimax Arctic tires. They aren't the best or nothing (I scoff) but they do very well in CO where the snow melts fast, and the roads become very dry two days later.

Unfortunately, or maybe not, the largest size they make is 235/45R17. I think I could go four equal sized rims/tires, and make this work. Anyone disagree, or recommend a better setup?

Winter is coming...

Oops, just realized a 17 inch wheel would never clear the calipers. Regardless, what are you Northerners going to do?

I run Pirelli Sottozer 3 on my 2WD Lotus Evora and they rock in snow. They have fitment for RS3 too, will probably get a pair for that as well. Work well in dry too.
