Never had one that new but with regular tires in a 122 wagon and a 164,
I don't put any extra weight in the trunk and do fairly well. When you
get into a spin, extra weight in the trunk will make the trunk lead the
car. (at least a LOT of extra weight in the trunk will).
Even in the front-heavy 164 I find I can climb hills that front wheel
drive cars have problems with. Of course getting a run up them helps
a lot. Don't ever stop at the BOTTOM of a slick intersection - coast through
it as fast as you safely can, conserving your momentum for when you need it.
