all season tire question

[civicrider]

im looking at grabbing these wheels and they have Kumho Ecsta 225/45 all season rubber. now because they are 45 series will they still perform as a good all season tire, i was hoping to use these in the winter

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Get a set of 15" steel wheels and a $500 set of good winter tires (like Kumho KW19) and save yourself, and your car. It's a total waste of your Audi's AWD if you don't... 2WD with snow tires is much better than AWD without.
You will be all over the road with those low profile "all season" Kumhos. Don't know about you, but I'd rather spend my money on good winter tires than bent rims (those are nice rims) and supension/body work.

:werd: Couldn't have said it better myself. If you can afford an Audi then don't cheap out on a set of rubber that may save you and others on the road.
