What winter/offroad tyres would you recommend for an Audi A4?

We have a 2015 Audi A4 quattro estate and have moved to a hilly elevated area that often suffers from winter snows. What would be a good choice of winter/offroad tyre to allow us to still drive around without purchasing an SUV with better ground clearance and AWD?

You don't mention which size tyres are currently fitted to your Audi, but assuming they are 245/45R17, looking on blackcircles.com we would suggest looking at the Vredestein Wintrac Pro, which offers a C rating for fuel consumption, B for wet grip and a noise rating of 72dB, which is good for a heavily-treaded winter tyre. You may also wish to consider an all-season tyre, such as the Michelin CrossClimate 2 or Continental All Season Contact - these will not offer as much grip in the snow as a full winter tyre, but it will be superior to a summer tyre and work better on dry roads than a full winter.
