All Season Tire for Northern Cal Driving
I just put on some old Audi 15" wheels on my 1998 A4 Avant Quattro. The tires on them now are Goodyear. (I bought the set used.)
Audi tech at local dealer suggests I get Michelin All Season M+S, says Audis run great on Michelin tires.
Tirerack therefore suggests MX4 or MXV4 based on my statement that I want an all season tire and I need to go to the snow (Lake Tahoe) in snowstorm weather about 4 days per year.
I looked around at comments at epinions.com and people seem to HATE these Michelin tires.
In which case, who's right, and what tires should I buy? As you can tell, I am not a savvy car person. :-) Initially I had a set of winter wheels and a set of summer wheels, and, quite frankly, that is not for me.
I just want to have one set of wheels and one set of tires, and be able to get through chain control at Donner Summit/Tahoe on the days when there is chain control. (Again, this is about 4-6 times per year for me.)

Dunlop SP5000's seem to get the general nod of approval for high-performance M+S.
