I am purchasing a 2003 TT roadster 225 in a week or so. I live outside NYC and we get snow (a whole bunch this year for our area). I don't know whether to get the optional all season 17 inch 225/45 tires or take the performance tires and purchase a set of winter tires. I will use the car as my daily driver.

A friend of mine in the NY area got a new A4 with all seasons and said the car drove with enough confidence this winter for her liking.

I drive a TT quattro and didn't see as much snow as the east coast this past winter, but I got a set of 16in wheels with 205/55/16 dedicated snow tires and I would do the same thing again.

The thing to remember is it's not only the 4 winter months to be concerned about, it's also the 8 summer months where you're giving up the performance of summer tires. It depends on the type of driver you are.

go performance and get winters too. Don't compromise with all seasons.
