10 yrs audi / 10 yrs all-seasons
Why would having an ultra high performance all-season tire defeat the purpose of getting an S6? Yes the S6 is a high performance car, but with AWD and the ultra high performance all-season tire can you really say that it's performance side-by-side with another S6 with summer tires will perform horribly?
The summer tires may pull better, but it won't rape the all-season one. To many people their S6 is a daily car that has the capability of speeding past slowpokes with ease and not racing. The all-seasons is peace of mind to not have to gamble and see when you should change the tires and not get caught with your pants down sliding into the rear end of a car.
Over on BMW and MB sites, I see elitist ***** belittle others who switched to all-seasons saying they are insulting the meaning of a true race car. Not many are willing to spend the cash for another set of wheels/tires to sit there to be possibly used. Winter in the DC metro area hasn't been bad these few years, but that one un-predictable day when it's alittle rough is what we have to watch for.

IMO, dedicated performance summer tires for summer weather and dedicated performance winter tires for wet,snow,ice potential. The difference in handling in bad weather having excellent quality performance winter tires will amaze you...the Bridgestone winter driving school in Colorado proves that in every grad class. AWD with traction..what a concept, Tires have changed in the last few years tremendously.
