Thanks for the input!

Those of you with the Michelin's, do you have the LRR version?

I had the same tires and was very unhappy with them. Maybe I am a litt more aggressive on my tires.

I live in snow/ice country and have nothing but praise for the Dunlop performance winter tires..the M3 is now the D3, Audi's seem to like them..at TR compare 'total' miles driven to get a more accurate rating.

FWIW, I ended up getting the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA-3's. They were slightly cheaper than the Dunlop's, and it sounded like both the Alpin's and the Dunlop's were good options.

Thanks for the input, everyone.

Running these on the factory 18's as well... in Germany. I have an '05 3.2Q. My first winter on them can't provide much feedback as yet. I can say that having dedicated winter tires on a quattro is like driving a tank, just unstoppable. My A4 Avant 1.8TQ 6spd had winters and was uber impressive in bad weather.
