I just got SP5000's... they suck in snow eh? I figured such....
...since they have pretty good dry performance, it was wishful thinking they can hold their own in snow as well. Did you get any kind of snow traction at all?
Oh well... at least they're better than summer tires which turn into hockey pucks in the cold. They'll have to do for the chicagoland winter this year.

Quattro is great in snow. Just remember it helps you go but it dooesn't help you stop and turn...
It doesn't defy the laws of physics...use common sense. I wouldn't want to see your S4 in a ditch! ;-)
Be sure to get some winter tires.

To redeem the SP8000E's, they are a great summer tire...
...I'll no doubt post impressions of the SP5000's when I get some snow. I never thought I'd be anxious for snow.
