I recently purchased a 1998 V70 GLT with the TRACS/Winter package. I've seen it refered to as GLT AWD. Does the TRACS make the car AWD? The manual suggests that you not turn the TRACS system off, but does not specifically refer to it making the car AWD. The reason I'm asking is I just blew my front passenger tire in the aftermath of the mid-atlantic snowstorm (did'nt see that curb). Anyway, the car only has 50,000 and the dealer where I purchased the car said the tires were new and they look good. Can I just replace the tire (Michelin MX4's 195/60/R15)or will I need a new set. BTW, what would be a good replacement tire for softer/all season ride? Thanks for any help clearing the confusion and any replacement recommendations.
