c63 in the snow?

Have not posted awhile since the sale of my c32 last year, but am now eyeing the c63 =) Anyways, sold the c32 for an S4 because of a move from sunny SoCal to the Windy City.

I feel safe in inclement weather with the s4's quattro, any input on how the c63 will fare in the snow with snow tires?

TIA.

i had an Audi 2.7T A6 and that car was awesome in the snow w/ winter tires and AWD.

i have a C55 now and it's fine in the snow w/ winter tires in Comfort mode.

i would guess the C63 will be fine w/ winter tires in Comfort mode as well. just make sure u don't have a lead foot

for how much you'll spend on winter tire setup for the c63 you could probably find an older Civic to have fun in the snow with

I would say if it snows, stay home.
Or do what I did....buy an ML.

+1

My CLK does fine in the snow with winter tires, but nothing beats the ML on a winter set, too.

C32 AMG - RIP :(
C63 will be as bad or worse than your C32 was.
