Default Fun in the snow

We go about 10 inches and with drifts go up to 3' Anyway, I was out in the worst of it yesterday and what a blast it is to drive this car. Even without proper snow tires and on the Continental all seasons I thoroughly enjoyed plowing through the snow while getting a massage. Of course with snow tires it would be even better but I am singing that Quatro song. Turn traction to sport and raise it up. Really a lot of fun. Just give yourself plenty of time to stop. 😉

With cold tires you are correct the front locks up pretty easily but after they warm up its not too bad. This where the soft rubber on snow tires really excel. Now driving in these conditions with summer tires forget about it... Lol

The S8 is great in the snow on proper snow tires and lowered to the max
