I know winter tyres and summer tyres are always debated. But thought I'd share this video. I was susprised how rubbish the 4WD summer car did at accelerating... 4WD got absolutely thrashed...

It is good to know the exact tyres used. Quite often these comparisons are for winter vs all-season.I was susprised how rubbish the 4WD summer car did at accelerating... 4WD got absolutely thrashed...
Our A3 has TS850 tyres. They are excellent on ice and snow and predictable when the weather is warmer.Put my Continental WinterContact TS860's on the A3 a couple of weeks ago and a set of TS850's on the Skoda VRS today. Been using them for years and they make a massive difference in all winter weather. Wouldn't be without them.
All-season tyres are not the best option for a performance car. Comparatively poor winter performance AND poor summer performance.My stock continentals have only got a couple mm left and i can't afford to put some winter tyres on now and then buy new summer tyres in March. Thinking of going michelin cross climate tyres all year round. Anyone done this?

What you could do is just stay on your Summer tyres this year and hope for the best (a mild Winter). Just leave the car at home if conditions are really bad and at other times be careful and drive to the conditions. This may be better than compromising both the Winter and Summer performance with a tyre that is neither fish nor fowl so to speak.
I’ve not long got back into an s3 again recently and noticed already some traction issues where even traction control isn’t kicking in, has anyone came across this, i would have thought the stock Contis would have been more than capable, however I did see this video on Facebook this weekend and it got me thinking
Cars a 64 plate, but only done 10k miles?It may not be tyre related. It could be haldex related unless the car is very new.
