Get proper tires, I have Nokian W/Rs and they rock in the snow and ice.

Default Sport tires + ABS you can't turn off = !!!! moments.
At least on the early quattros you could turn the ABS off and let nature take it's course.

Default Huh??
That's a pretty silly statement. Why anyone would prefer to "turn the ABS off and let nature take it's course" is beyond me!

Default Get real tires
Your tires suck (for winter driving) and don't grip the snow when you hit the brakes.

Default Dont Laugh.. But...
I used to run cheap Glacier Grip snows on steel rims in the winter on the Coupe and they where Great! 98 A4 was very good regardless of tire selection that is why I am concerned
