I'm looking to switch to 19s and wondered if anyone is using these A/S tires. I'd like year-round capability, thus the all-seasons. Impressions, anyone?

Goodyear Eagle F1s and will have them put on in another 1,000mi., which is when my 15K mi. service is. I wanted to maintain the stickiness of a summer tire. My understanding is that the Goodyear's are quieter than the Pzero's that came on my A8 originally.

I've read a number of reviews on Tirerack.com about the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and most people seem satisfied.

I'm lazy, I guess, but I hate switching back and forth. I purchased a car that was already in transit and had the 18s. Had I ordered mine, I would have opted for the 19s, but it just didn't work out that way. Now, every time I see an A8L with the 19s, I have that terrible ping of jealousy.

also had used them on my D2. . . don't notice any difference. . . . great tires from my experience. I agree, for me the 19's make the car it's as simple as that.

to go with dedicated snows. If you are in a snow belt, theres nothing quite like snows!

... but with RWD, that was really a must. I live in Ohio, so the snow isn't as bad as a lot of places. I think A/S tires and Quattro will be just fine. I had the 18" A/S this past winter with no issues. Plus, I always have the SUV as a backup.
