Neither have I. Considering we only get 3 hours of summer in the UK anyway! I find it redundant to get winter tyres/wheels. I'd rather stick with all weather tyres that have the best possible braking specs and wet weather specs. We're more likely to need tyres that will keep you safe in the wet than needing tyres that'll keep you safe in the snow.

Summer tyres are better in wet weather than all weather tyres.

Pretty much at the same conclusion. Difference in rubber is about £20 a corner from a quick look, nothing too drastic. Will probably run the 20s until the rubber needs replacing and then maybe buy some 21s with new rubber then.

Have never bothered with winter/summer switches on a 4x4

Also note that the treadwear for tyres available on 20 are longer-lasting than anything available on 21.

AWD does not help reducing braking distance or hydroplaning, so winter/summer tyres are still as much of a benefit with AWD as with any. But yeah, almost no one does the swap. I decided to though.

I negotiated the Audi Q7 winter wheel package into my Q7 order. I always change my wheels over in the winter as the winter rubber dramatically improves cold wet we sat her grip and braking. Plus the nice 21" twin spokes summer set wont get trashed by grit and salt. Quattro may be better grip while accelerating, but all cars are 4x4 for braking....

Well worth having in my view.
