Need some input on rubber. Im getting an A5 w/ the 19ich wheels and sport suspension, with that package also comes the summer tires. Im getting the car in November or December so by that time I will need winter tires. Im looking for an all season tire that handles well in the snow as well. Any ideas?

 

I did a lot of research to find the best for my S4 last year and went with Dunlop 3Ds. They work great. I can floor it and still be able to accelerate great. Braking is great as well. I had a couple days were I went over bridges in 5" of snow and at ~2-5 degrees outside and they never slipped. But I will give you a warning, they almost gave me too much confidence as I did a slide and hit a curb, totally my fault but playing in the snow is too hard to resist.

 

Ill check them out, thanks James!

 

I've had good luck with the Pirellis that are M+S rated on one of my past cars (Benz C-Class). They were great in all of the weather we have out here. Only about a dozen days of snow in two winters, but they did make three trips up to the pass for snowboarding.

This winter I am going to be going with a rain spec tire and perhaps risking the couple days of snow we get out here... It never get's bad in my area and the days that it does, most people call in sick.
