When I first bought the car, the previous owner put Goodyear Assurance 205/55R16 tires on it, while all seasons, they where pretty decent, but they have a lot of road noise.
So we get that massive snow fall Dec 4th, no problems get stuck, even with the all seasons. Bumper high residential snow, I can stop and go on hills, not a problem. Even when we had that night of ice rain, bitch just gripped like crazy going up hills on ice, on all seasons. Stop is a different story haha.
I finally got some used Pirelli Snowsport 210 winter tires in 205/55R16 for cheap, I feel they don't have much grip on ice, it seemed like the Goodyear's had better grip on ice. I have yet to try these Pirelli's in deep snow.
Even though the car is Quattro, which is front wheel drive based, it acts like a rear wheel drive car, the back end always kicks out, and some understeer is prevalent.
