Default Any experience with Continental conti-sport contact?
I'm in CT, and winter's coming , i wanted to see how these tires are. I just got the car a couple months ago and have never driven a quattro in the snow yet. It has the stock 16" sport rims with conti-sport contact all seasons on it. How are they in the snow? I had studded snow on my last car (honda del sol) and , for a front wheel drive, the car rocked in the snow. I'm sure quattro makes a big difference, but do i need to upgrade to snow tires for this winter?

Yup! Great in snow. Did you have tire balancing issue? That seems to be a problem with Contiextremes
