wintertime driving 900

My 97 965 isn't too bad.
Last season I had a full set of GISLAV (Volvo dealer recommended snow tires) tires on, and it was great (well...pretty damned good) in the snow. I have these 5 gal barrels we used at work for gum arabic, and I will take four empties and fill em with water to add weight in the back (8.6 lbs per gallon of water), and it helps. Also, you are not stuck with 200 lbs of sand come spring.
The GISLAVs are shot to shit (thats what happens when you ride em on dry pavement too long), and I got a pair of all seasons for the rear this year. Not bad. They ain't no real snow tires, but not bad.
The old street radials I had 2 years ago were the pits. Tires really make a difference.
Anyway, I got me a second car. HONDA CRV 4wd in 03, so I can rest easy. Great car BTW.
