Idk, I have s5. So far great for daily. With apr its an animal. Unless you track your car i feel like numb steering is totally irrelevant.

When you daily drive 0 to 60 stuff dont even matter.

I also spent one winter on summer tires, never got stuck in snow on my s5. Can't say the same for my x5 running all seasons. Not saying bmw is bad, just my experience that's all.

Driving in winter with summer tires sounds terrifying. My S3 had issues with summer tires once the temp dropped below 40….I spun out in an intersection one day when it got super cold and I didn't have time to put my proper winter tires on.

Agree that summer tires in winter is just dumb. That being said, your S3 more than likely didn't perform as well due to haldex vs torsen. His S5 is always going to fair better in slippery condition regardless of tires/season.

I agree, driving on summer tires at winter is stupid, for lack of a better word. Young and stupid I guess.

This year all cars have all seasons on for winter. We grow we learn 😇

Loads of bells & whistles. Numb steering. Numb experience.
Wonderfully stated. Audis are a numb experience indeed!
