Opinions on Yokohama BluEarth V905

Hello,

I am looking to by a set of winter tires. I will be using the tires when I go from the warmer/dry city to the mountains for snow trips, snowboarding, and hikes. I found reviews for these wheels from overseas sites, but I can not find ratings comparing them to PA4s or Sottozeros. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Have you thought about a second set of winter rims/tires ? Can your Allroad run 17” rims ?
My winter set up is original 17” Audi rims and 225/55/17 snow tires. This saves hassle of dismounting tires fall and spring plus 17” snows cost less.
When my Dunlop’s wear out I’m switching to the Nokian all weather tire, just put a new set on our Touareg and so far really great in snow and better ride/handling than a true snow tire

I actually bought a pair of 19's for the winter set up which is a step down from my 20s. I am thinking of running either 235/45r19 or 245/40r19.

235 is better choice
