I don't think any all-season tires are that great in the snow - especially for the profiles required on Audis. But when comparing these compromised tires, I think the Continentals offer the best of summer and winter traction. The problem lies in the compromises. They are neither great winter nor great summer tires. They are better winter tires than any summer tire and they are better summer tires than any winter tire.

For true winter traction, you need a dedicated snow tire (like the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50, Dunlop Winter Sport M2, or Dunlop Winter Sport M3) and, for true summer traction, you need a dedicated summer tire (like the Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, or Sumitomo HTR Z II).
