Default Conti Extreme Contact DWS for RS4

Gary,

Just want to get your impression about these tires for an RS4, I live in the North East and do not drive the RS4 much in the winter but will this coming year.
Feedback appreciated.

The Continental Extreme Contact DWS is our best all-season tire for snow capability for this car. While it is superior in the snow, we have found it to be just good to average in other regards such as dry grip, steering response and noise levels. For a sportier, better handling tire with good light snow traction you may want to consider the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus if you're a more aggressive driver.
