Winter tire???
What are opinions on different winter tires out there? I live in Boulder CO and ski every weekend so I need winter tires. But, I commute 25miles each way 5 days a week in the front range so I would like to maintain some dry road performance. What's the tire to get? I'm using my stock S4 wheels.

Go to the Tires and Wheels forum. There is a wide variety of opinion depending on driving conditions
I live in NJ/NY so for me either a Dunlop M2 or Vredestein Wintrac (v-rated).
Some people like the Michelin Alpin.
If you want a pretty good bias go to tirerack and look at the review ratings.
Also the Blizzaks are tanks through snow but some suggest that they sacrifice on the dry.

Re: Winter tire???
We have the same climate as you... I personnaly switch to 16 inches wheels and put some Blizzak. Only the 1 inch (from 17 to 16) would make a big difference.
