Volvo XC70 Tires

I purchased these tires based on the reviews here. I wanted something that would provide performance as good as I could get that would also be durable. I thought I found it in this tire. I have not pushed this tire too hard as I wanted it to last until winter with as much tread life as possible so I could test it out in the snow. While this tire has been great for summer driving and performed well in moderate rain (we didn't have a lot of heavy rain this year,) this tire has been a great disappointment in the snow. It doesn't grip well. It doesn't provide hardly any traction. My tires spin in all wheel drive. On the interstate, I can't go over 50 mph without the back end sliding around. A previous car I had, a Ford Crown Victoria with rear wheel drive on Viva 2 tires performed better than these. The tires I used to run on this car are no longer in production. The Vredestein Quatrac 5. That was a GREAT tire for winter weather. I will be shopping for a replacement at some point. But without a good tire for current driving conditions, I won't be going far.
