Went from SO2 summer tires on my 2002 S to Dunlop Graspic tires.

205 front
225 rear

Not only do I never have wheel spin, I can actually accelerate in light snow.

I even went in an empty parking lot covered in snow and had a hard time making the car slip and slide. Even on all that snow I had no problem accelerating from a standing start.


Amazing what a good set of snow tires can do. If I had known my S could handle decently in the snow I would never have bought my winter beater!

 

Personally, I'm not too worried about actual traction in the snow. What I DO worry about is,

1. Salt corrosion, and chips from the gravel/dirt they use to clean up the snow.
2. Idiot drivers that still run with summer/bald tires.

Those are the reasons why I have a daily driver.

 

I have used the Graspics for a couple years and while they don't handle well in the dry they do give very good snow traction.
