Default A3 winter tires?

Hi. New guy here. 2009 A3 2.0T FSI quattro S-Line. White.
Has 17" rims. What would you suggest for winter tires?
Also, I am going to 18" rims for hi-performance summer tires next year. Any suggestions on rims and tires. Thanks

I run Blizzak Revo1 on for the winter (225.45.17) and Dunlop Sport Maxx for the summer 235.40.18. I'm pretty happy with the setup.

Hi Dave,

I am running Michelin Pilot Exalto's on my 17's and I am quite happy with them. If you want even more performance, the Pilot Sports are awesome. As for winter tires, I am going to try out the X-Ice's this winter.

pirelli sotto zeros (amazing on snow and ice)! got my a3 in the fall of '08 and they had a promo (free snows with the purchase of a quattro audi).
