Default didn't think so either especially with the celebration wheels...
wouldn't want cables strung across them. The reason why I asked? Check link below.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1081356.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/1081356.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default And I quote from the Bible (Audi Manual)
Snow chains
Snow chains may not be used on factory installed wheels/tires and the compact spare wheel.

This having to do with the Quattro system.. &gt;shrugs&lt;

Default I can see how chains on two wheels would throw off the quattro system
chains on all four? I think I'll wait and pick up some snows..
