Hi,
I`ve got a 95 850 wagon, the steering characteristics are a result of the 205x16`s. When we first got the car it felt just plain "weird"! And when the first snowstorm hit(we still had the summers on) it was downright dangerous. Gravel roads are kinda` the same. The previous owner had told us that we would definitely not want to drive that car with those wide tires in snow but it was an early, unexpected storm. Scary!!
All in all, after 5 years owning this wagon, it`s been a great car. As others will attest; keep up the maintenance!
Have fun!
Rich
