I would like your opinions.
How does the A4 with sport suspension and tires handle this snow?
Is there a big difference in traction between the Sport Pkg. tires and the standard tires?
Thanx in advance!

i just drove around my yard(we have 72 acres) and i live in the mountians. my driveway is steep and pretty long and i had no problem making first tracks down and then going back up it, i never had to flore it, never slid and i have yokohama guardex 600 195/65-15 snow tires on steel rims. i had the same yok's on steel wheels in 14" form on my gti last winter and it was great, but with quattro, this car is unstoppable, i'm considering going into town on the unplowed roads and getting a pizza! oh yeah if i didnt mention, i may have, i have the sport package as well.

This has been beaten to death!

Read the archives. Concensus is, Dunlop Z tires bad in snow.

The 8000 tires that come with the sport pkg are NOT made for snow, period. If you want traction in the snow go for a set of M+S rated tires, or dedicated snow tires.
