I got a set of Dunlop 235/50R19 on Audi wheels from ebay.de for my A8 but never used them as I had it over the summer but they went on the S8. £1000 with unmarked Audi wheels and about 6mm tread. Basically the official dealer winter tyre package for the A8. They were imperious in the snow. Ice needed caution as always as overconfidence can occur from excellent snow behaviour. Not noisy, good ride, wore well and still OK when it warmed up.
