Default Winter Tire Performance Dunlop Dunlop Graspic DS-3

Just put 4x Dunlop Dunlop Graspic DS-3 225/55/r16 on my extra set of wheels. I was tired of being stranded with all this snow and having to worry about getting stuck on hills...etc. We will see how it does, check out this video of rwd cars with winter vs all season.

Also I added 120lbs of sandbags in the trunk.

I put a set of the earlier design Dunlop Graspics on the Lincoln LS that used to be my wife's DD, and they worked quite well.

Just took the trans am out in 3 inches of snow.....took back roads with curves and uphill sections. I didn't have to turn off traction control once or make the wheels spin to retain grip. It was like driving on lightly dusted dirt road, I just took it a bit easier on the turns but going 25-35 mph it felt like the snow wasn't even there for the most part.
