Default to those of you that use snowtires

I spoke with my local tireshop in Bergen today, and they thought my tires for the Q7 were no good at all.
I know Techart and other tuners only use this tire for their high-performace SUV's. It has also got good reviews in german ADAC's tests. The tire is

Continental 4x4 winter contact 295/40/R20

any thoughts?
anyone else use continental stud-free snowtires?

its all in the make of the tire, the trend pattern is important but not nearly as important as the make up. b/c if the tire doesn't have the best material in it then i will be "hard" and like an ice skate. the softer a winter tire the better.

I'll check if I have a test report n that size,
as I mentioned yesterday I also bought Continental tires (studless ) and they did one of the best test result.
