Snow tires
Any tire experts out there? I would like to fit my 09 Audi with a dedicated snow tire this season. I'm considering Bridgestone Blizzaks, Michelin X-ice or Nokians. Any advice on these brands would be greatly appreciated.

Are you putting a lift kit on it as well?

Re: Snow tires
I run Nokian all weathers and agree that they are great tires. I use the winter traction rated and they grip really well on rain and snow. Their snow tires I'm sure would be excellent. The Finns know snow.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I'm going with the Nokian - R's and just located a dealer nearby.

Human behavior is economic behavior. The particulars may vary, but competition for limited resources remains a constant.
