I’ll find out this winter; but I’ve heard good things. We don’t get that much snow in northern VA so I’m not sure how it does in the snow.

Assuming they are the Pilot Sport all-seasons, I can tell you from experience—not well. But if you don’t see snow that often, it probably won’t be an issue.

I was going to say the same thing. The cheaper Primacy Tour AS has been great for me in occasional snow and has good treadwear. Surprisingly good grip in the dry too.

I swapped out a perfectly good set of Pilot Sport A/S tires for Conti DWS on my S6. The Contis were leagues better in bad weather.
Going to get a set of Hakka R5s put on my SQ8 in about an hour.

Not much snow there, but there’s the occasional storm, so better safe than sorry. We had like 3+ feet the winter of 2009 when I lived in Annapolis. I’ve got Continental WinterContact TS 860 S for my RS5, and they’re some of the quietest tires I’ve ever driven on regardless of season or rating, quieter than my Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2 summer tires.
When you post multiple times about your winter tires.
If those are winter wheels, I’m intrigued what you consider summer wheels.

Check their profile. A couple posts down is what I think are the summers. They’re nice, at least imo.
Those wheels are awesome
I installed my winter wheels at the first occasion after it was 3°C once in October, at my brother’s VW workshop on a Saturday. I also got a fresh oil change and new filters. Tomorrow I’m getting a new AGM battery after replacing the original one from 2016. It dropped below 8V, so this is the best time to replace it.
