My Pirellis that came as part of the 05 A6 3.2 Sport Package were great summer tires and fun in Miami, but they were an absolute nightmare in the rain and snow when I moved north to Washington (oh, they only lasted 18,000 miles.....and at $300 each, not worth the trade-off that I get with the RE960 A/S at $200 each...)

I also have the Pirelli, the P6 model and am in Washington. Haven't had any trouble in the snow or rain, even with as much as we got this last season. Not sure if you had a different model then I did. I did read reviews on my tire and they weren't rated very high, but like I said they haven't been bad. And I believe they are the oringinal tires that came with the car, and I've just hit 50k

I just bought 4 tires yesterday, after puncturing mine...I bought Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus 245/40ZR18.

I price matched them from Tirerack...and they came out to about 230/tire...all in $1050. Awesome all seasons high performance tires, with GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT tread wear...45,000 mile rated.

Check them out.
