Default What are the winter tires of choice for this winter? I need...

to get a set of 4 for my stock 17in sport pack wheels for winter.

I have the stock sport pack tires mounted on my 17in MM Spiders for summer.

So,
any recommendations for tires that will fit the stock 17 in wheels found on the 02 A4 3.0?

Thanks!

Default 5 seconds at the tire rack and I found some.

I'm sorry but do people even look any more, or just hope someone else has done the work for them. Not trying to come off as an *** hole. Sorry if I did.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compare1.jsp?startIndex=0&amp;width=225%2F&amp;rat io=45&amp;diameter=17&amp;search=true&amp;pagelen= 20&amp;pagenum=1&amp;pagemark=1&amp;performance=AS &amp;performance=W">winter and all season</a></li></u

Default pardon ME!

I have had multiple sets of winter tires on my MULTIPLE Audi's....
pirelli asymmetricos, winter sport M2's, etc, etc.

I was wondering what this years hot item would be....I have been around here for years and it seems people just arent the same anymore....and yes I have bought them from Eddie @ tirerach before this forum was sponsored by them.....

Default a4Pat...

not trying to be a jerk, anything but. I always try and help people, as you can see from my posts.

My point in responding to "Power5" is people would find the answers they are looking for, if they just took some initiative on their own...that's all. And, they would find the answers right away.

Sorry if I offended you, once again that was not my point.

Cheers.

My dealer told me the sidewall on the Blizzaks is too soft for the Audi..

Default Which Blizzak, there are several models...

...I found the "H" rated Blizzak LM-22's to be excellent last winter on my S4, and I'm running 205-55-16's.
