Winter Tires A4 3.0 Q Sport
I need winter boots for my A4 3.0Q, since the OEM's are summer Pirelli's. Proposal is to go down from 17" to a 16" Blizzak or Dunlop M3. Thoughts ?

Minus sizing definately a good idea for best winter traction, but will reduce steering response/dry handling. All about the compromise.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/winter/index.jsp">winter tires</a></li></ul>

I have to agree with Gary - not that that is a hard thing
I was running 16's snows on my orginal wheels and bought 17s for summer use. I missed the look and response during the winter and finally sold my 16s w/snows and bought used 17s and used snow tires. I am very glad I did.
I would only go with 16s again if I lived in a real bad winter area - and Colorado is not.
