Just bought a 2006 a4 cab FWD in the Wash DC area. The car has new Nexen N3000 235/45ZR17 94W tires. I did not realize that these were "summer" tires. While I do have a p/u for bad snow, I will be driving in snow and ice conditions. I do not drive particulary agressively. Question:

1. I assume that these "summer" tires are not going to do well in the snow? Obvious.

2. Should I get "snow" tires or "all season" tires?

3. If I get "snow" tires, do you guys get a separate set of rims or have the tires changed on the existing rims seasonally?

4. What tires should I get? I believe in good tires (bad tires are a bad way to die)but looking for an economical alternative, particularly considering my driving style.

5. Wheres the best place to get them?

Great forum - already changed the oil, filter, air filter, cabin filter with your help. Love this place.
