Weird Winter Tire Help

[sagexl]

Would any of you guys get winter tires where 3 tires are the same and 1 is different?

3 of them are Pirelli 240 Snowsports & one is it’s predecessor the Sotto Zero W240. Lots of tread left. The Sotto is virtually new with 95% and the others are around 85%.

Will this mess with my car and traction through the winter, or am I just paranoid?

Should I use 2 Pirelli 240 Snowsports And 2 Pirelli Sotto Zero W240s? Would that work better?

Help Please Experts!!!!

It will mess with your Quattro system. They have to be all the same. Even if all 4 were the same brand and model but the tread depth were different it would still mess with your car. Makes the system work overtime because of the different traction and could possibly f* it up.

Snow chains are illegal in Illinois.


Regarding the question, come on you have an S4 - have all 4 matching tires.
