240 Snow Tire Questions 200

Hi,

I am considering buying a set of 4 Volvo rims mounted on snow tires for $100 (slightly used). The size is P185/75/R14. The seller said that they came off of his 240. Two of the tires are Wintermaster Plus made by Wintermaster and two are Goodyear Ultragrip.

The tires on my 87 240 Wagon now are 185/70/R14 87T M+S (I do not know what 87T M+S means).

Here are my questions:

1) Why is the tire size on the tires for sale different than my tire size?

2) How good are Goodyear Ultragrip?

3) How good are Wintermaster Plus made by Wintermaster (my guess is that they are generic snow tires).

Note that I live in the Washington DC metro area and this will be my "snow car".

thanx
Kreg
