Default Hey! Let's say this again...

If you're running with a sport suspension package, the summer performance tires that come with it are NOT safe for driving in snow and on ice!!

You've got to get winter tires before you kill yourself and/or someone else on the road, quite bluntly.

All-Season tires work much better.

Default it probably handles better than the way you handle punctuation.

You live in Michigan. Get some winter tires.

You are correct, but I think Audi should not put these tires on A4's

Default But, you didn't have to choose the Sport Package...

I chose the sport package knowing that I will buy an extra set of rims with snow tires for Winter use.

It's not Audi. That's the nature of all sport tires. They warned you...

Default You paid extra for something you do not want ?????

Audi says quite clearly in their literature that the tires for the sport setup are only summer tires, and should not be used for winter driving.

They anticipated that bozo's would come out of the woodwook and complain, as soon as the first snowflake fell. But I guess Audi's presumption of literacy among its customer base was asking too much.
