It is pretty good with snow tires. Sometimes I disable ASR AND ESC so the car under steers less. But it is a huge improvement over my MK VI with snows.
being an Audi Technician I would say Conti Pro or Cross Contacts, or Pirelli P7 due to their even wear and descent grip on crappy weather.
They've offered just as much snow/ice traction as the Blizzaks that I had previously used but it's the wet and dry weather traction where the Pirellis really shine and that's really important to me since the roads are mainly dry in the winter unless you venture up to the mountains.
I believe those were what I had on a Mustang GT. I know they were Pirelli P Zeros but can't remember any more specifics. They were great tires. Had 30k miles on them when I traded in the car and they still had quite a bit of life left.
I have been running the P7AS Plus for over 20k and they are still smooth, quiet and excellent handling. Zero complaints with these tires.
I had P7s(17\") installed on my 2013 SEL 4 weeks ago and the difference with the crappy Hankooks is night and day...quieter,braking and handling are transformed.
I went by the specs and got 225/40/18. They fit well and have a much wider tread and overall look than the stock Pirelli P7s I replaced.
I thought the Pirellis were smoother and quieter than the Dunlops (all new cars here), but now that I am reading about how bad they become, maybe I am better off with the Dunlops
I had Pirelli Winter Carving Edge tires on my MK6 for four winters - they sucked!
I had Pirelli winter tires on my '11 Tiguan. They sucked right from the get go. No traction.
