Default I've got them on my S4 ...

I've had Blizzak LM-22s (225/45/17) on my S4 for about 3 weeks now. The feel pretty good. A little noisier than the stock Pirelli P6000, which is to be expected with a snow tire. Dry handling is good and they were great in the recent snow (in CT).

Default Have them on my 2001 S4

I've had them on for about a month, and put them on immediately after I got the car, so I can't compare to the stock tires yet, but I'm pretty happy with them so far (mostly dry). The one day I had it out on wet roads, I noticed the ESP kicking in a few times, but I was really pushing the car, trying the limits of the tires, quattro, esp, etc... The sound is pretty quiet, only once in a while do you get a buzz on weird road surfaces (got some way weird noises near the north end of 287 in Jersey yesterday, though they stopped before I could pinpoint the source as the tires).

Default CraigB just got 17" ones this year and can compare to the 16" A210s he had previously

He should have some experience on the snow now.

I have LM22's on my A4. I live in Iowa so today I got to test them out in about 12 inches of snow. They are great in snow, I can go, but the best is the steering and stopping on ice or snow. They are not too loud on dry pavement and seem to handle well on dry roads.

Default They handle great, except on ice...

...although they did survive a lateral impact into a curb. 8^) The ATP 5 Razze wheels are a different story. Still waiting on replacement for the one I bent and my appt at McDonald Audi to correct the rear alignment.
