Conti Extreme Contact Dunlop SP5000 Falken 512 Nokian WR That last one is the most snow-capable all-season tire I know, but it gets a little soft during hot summer days, so you just have to decide what's more important to you. For a good balance of everything, I think I'd go with CEC. Cheers, Pete |

Re: Time for Tires
Thanks Pete, have been looking at the reviews and the CECs do seem to be the
best all round. I appreciate the help!

Re: Time for Tires
Joe,
IMHO, you should get a set of steel rims and put dedicated snow tires on them - that will save the condition of your aluminum rims, and will give you way better traction in the messy stuff than all season tires would.

I'm using Goodyear Vector EV-2 in the size 195/65-HR 15 and they are good the whole year round, although a bit noisy compared to sommer tires. Hope this helps. -- Best regards.

Re: Time for Tires
Good advice from Steve, or you could do what I did and use your
current alloys for snows (mine were kinda beat up from having to park on the street for a year) and buy nice new alloys for summer and keep your car looking like a REAL AUDI! :) I found good prices for alloy wheels at Shokan All Audi (which I've mentioned in this space before), and got 3 used ones in really nice shape, avoiding that E-Bay bidding crap.
