Smart man.
I've seen so many poorly equipped, nice vehicles while driving around town the last couple days. $70k vehicles, with $800 tires. Tires are the most important part of traction. Not Quattro/Haldex/4Matic/XDrive/VTD-SYM etc; I've seen so many AWD vehicles, struggle with traction. Especially trucks with their light rears, getting tail whippy. Put a half dozen sidewalk blocks over that rear axle. Save the $10k on buying that Quattro A4/A3, get it in FWD, and spend a fraction of those savings on some studded Hakkapeliittas.
You stop 10% sooner, and take-off 40% quicker, -- standard all-seasons vs standard winters.
