I've got some Yoko ice guards on my A4 that I've been happy with.

The Continental ExtremeWinterContact XL is one of the best snow tire values I've seen in a while. https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2771940

I was running Hankook Icebear W300 and nothing to complain about!

But Nokian Hakkapeliitta are the best tires in the world for sure.

Studded and you are just like a tank!

I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 tires. They have been incredible so far. Great ride and handling.

I picked up a set of Bridgestone Blizzacks, mounted on 18" wheels for my 2008 S6 last year. Of course.... we only had 2 snows of any amount, however the tires provide superior traction, are quite and provide a nice ride. Decent handling when compared to the 19" Cont Super Contacts I run in the summer.

I put Blizzak WS 70's (225/50-17 on A4 17" wheels) on my '06 4.2 S-Line and have been happy so far. Cost ~$800 for 4 Mounted and Balanced
