[net.auto] winter footwear

mo@seismo.UUCP (Mike O'Dell) (12/05/83)

I have an Audi 4000S 4E which I bought while in California. I now live in
the Washington, DC, area, which has considerably different winter-time
weather that the Bay Area.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to
what good winter footwear would be for my Audi?  I  have no experience
with snow tires on front-wheel drive cars (and damn little experience
with them at all!).  The car currently has the original equipment
Goodyear steel-belted radials and they seem to be holding up well as
we passed the 16K mile mark.  Any information or assistance would
be greatly appreciated.

	I am also in the market for new radial tires so any
information about tires is appreciated. I have heard good
things about Michilen ZXZ's but understand now that they have
come out with a new tread design and called it XVS. Does any-
one out there know which is better for traction on wet surfaces?
