Snow in Chicago = Fun in the TT...........
Took the TT out before the parking lots were cleared and salt on the streets.
Yep, Haldex works and so does ABS. I have Nokians on and could just zip by others and then stop on a dime - well, a big dime.
Absolutely amazing what snow tires do for this car.
I know people that do not understand Audi's, much less a TT, think that most be an idiot hunting a death wish in the little silver car. But it was so confident in this stuff and so sure footed. Truck suddenly stops in front and it a quick left and right through the slush and by him.
Good practice for the rest of the upcoming winter. I pull in the drive and here comes the plow and salt truck.

Put my snow shoes on today too>>>
John....you are absolutely right....the TT is a TANK in the snow...pretty amazing. While some love the all season tires, the benefit of having summer tires and dedicated winter tires equals a car that is way more fun year round.....
Drive safe...and have fun amigo! ;-)
