Hmm my 940 is much worse in snow than a FWD 700 1990

Hi masupra,

I live in eastern Ma. and we have gotten buried here last winter(shoveled my house roof off 3 times last winter) and for last few winters. My daughter drives a '90 740 that in prior winter had Kumho all season tires mounted. This 740 was all over the road with crappy traction and way scary handling. This past fall I mounted 4 Dunlop Graspic D2(dedicated snow/ice tires with snowflake symbol) on her car and the result was a rwd car that never got stuck and went where it was pointed. I even stopped the car several times going uphill on snow to see if i could get into trouble but the 740 always clawed it's way to the top. Next season I'm putting this same setup on my 745t for ski trip insurance.


Dan

p.s. new Kumho are back on her car for the other 3 seasons
