Should I fit winter tyres to my Audi A4 quattro?

I have a 2014 Audi A4 quattro 2-litre TDI with 19-inch low profile tyres that is terrible in winter. Is it better to replace all the tyres with winter tyres on steel wheels for next winter or replace the car to something that's better in snow?

Unless you regularly drive in snow (visiting the Alps or rural Scotland) I would recommend all-season tyres. HonestJohn.co.uk readers rate Michelin Cross Climate tyres and Continental All Season Contacts very highly.
