Tire question
Currently my B7 quattro has 17 inch summer performance tires. Keeping in mind I live in Southern California, I was wondering when winter came around if I should switch to all-season tires/winter (winter probably overkill) or if the summer tires would still be fine? I know it typically doesn't rain all that much in SoCal but its been known to happen... especially this past year. And if the recommendation is to perhaps get a set for the winter time, what type do you recommend? I've read that Pirellis aren't that great, mainly because the tread wear out to fast.
Also sometimes I drive up to the mountains to hit the slopes but I could probably take the awd SUV for that.

RE: Tire question
If the worst you'll see is rain, stick with summer tires... summer tires will outperform all seasons in rain. That is basically what a summer tire is... a rain tire. Switching to all seasons would be worse in rain -- however, if you do plan on getting into snow... summer tires are 100% useless in the white stuff.
