For us here in Alberta Urban driving i.e.: (Calgary corridor and west out to the Mountains) the roads here are abrasive to windshield and wheels. Anything here that will save your exterior and preserve metal is the way to go.

Re: Q5, Winter Tires and Rims
I drove a Q5 2010, 2 years ago with Winter tires Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow 18" tires. Last december I changed for a new 2013 Q5 s-line and wanted to keep my 18" Pirelli Winter tires. I had to drive on a snow road in Laurentides region and practically lost control of my car. My wife has a new BMW 328i xDrive with Bridgestone Blizzak and this is very stable on snow. So I decided to change my winter tire with Blizzak DM-V1 P235/60R18. I will never purchase Pirelli Scorpion again. Even the chief technicien at Audi concession told me that Pirelli was not so good on snow and at Costco, they told me that Pirelli Scorpion are overpriced and It will be better with Blizzak tires.

Re: Q5, Winter Tires and Rims
I'm also needing to purchase a winter set of wheel+tires, but I am considering downsizing the wheels to 17". The specs for the all-season tires and wheels that come with the Q5 3.0TFSI Premium state:
TIA
18" 5 V-spoke design with all-season tires: 235/60
Can anyone tell me if these are 7" wide wheels or 8"? The only wheels I can find for 17" are 7" wide. Let me know if I should I keep looking for 8"(?)TIA
