Re: winter tires
For my A4 1.8t Quattro, I have just installed a set of Continental Contact Extreme DWS - high performance, all season, DWS is Dry, Wet and Snow.
Top Rated by Consumers Magazine in all conditions (including snow). $700 installed at Green & Ross. They have been fantastic so far on Dry and Extremely Wet. This will be my first year without snow tires, and I am going with a top rated set of all season. I live in Barrie, so I will be trying them in the snow very soon. :thumb::cheers: |

Re: winter tires
I've installed a set of FALKEN ZIEX-ZE 912 on my A4 have been great during the summer, will see how they handle in the winter, although I'm inclined to put the snows on considering I live in Barrie and drive to Toronto for work every day. Has anyone had any experience with these tires?

My jetta on winters, drove wayyyyyyyyyy better than my mom's super heavy lincoln on all seasons. I'm the only one in my family that does the winter/summer switch, but I find it so worth it, I feel such a difference driving my car in the winter compared to other people's. |
Re: winter tires
i have nokian wr-g2 all season (rated winters). Never had a problem with them ever.
People telling you that all-season tires dont work need to get their heads checked. |

People telling you that all-season tires dont work need to get their heads checked. for someone living in barrie, they would probably much more appreciate the advantage of a true winter tire i live in Mississauga, but I drive a TON for work. When I first got my Audi it came with all season, and this past march when there was that nasty storm, I was driving home from markham, I spun out at 10km/h. I am DEFINITELY putting on new winters and scrapping the all seasons! |

it's not that they don't work, they suck in comparison.

I am DEFINITELY putting on new winters and scrapping the all seasons! I have never spun out, nor had any scary incident using the wr-g2 tire. I snowboard about 60-70 times a year and have driven in my fair share of snow storms on the 400 extention. |
