Default SNOW TIRES! Worn summer tires WILL NOT cut it on a snowy mountain.
Don't expect Quattro to save you, because it won't.

Default The A4's stock 15's would be summer/AS H-rated fare. With only ~5k worth of tread left...
I still wouldn't attack a snowy mountian with them.

Default Those tires are fine in the snow
Just go slow and leave plenty of distance to stop.

Ergh. Quattro + decent-at-best all season tires = fail. Note to self: Get snow tires.

Is driving in the snow with stock tires that bad? My 97 A4Q was great.
Too cheap to buy snow tires
