Who knows about good-in-snow, all-season radials that make a Volvo a bit less
clumsy in snow. You would think a Scandinavian car company would know how to
make a car that doesn’t act like a dizzy sheep when it gets near snow.
I have been recomended:
1) Yokahama A378 — but someone else said that the recommendation was
a bad one.
2) Kelly Navigator
3) Bridgestone 402 P
4) Firestone FR440
Does anybody have anything good or bad to say about any of them?

FYI, Sweden allows the use of studded tire durring winter month.
This helps the cars on ice and packed snow, and their roads
last just as long as our road up here in the snow belt. Leagalize
studded tires,hummm?

I have no complaint with Sweden, and not much of a complaint with Volvo, I
happen to be very happy with my car, but they are notoriously bad in snow. Far
worse than other cars w/o snow-tires.
I do not know how Swedish communities handle snow-removal, but in the majority
of United States’ cities hundreds of tons of salt eliminates snow, grass,
automobile paint, automobile bodies, and the need for snow tires. So for most
days of the winter months in most of the states of the union snow tires are not
needed, and driving them on clean dry pavement is no better for the road than
it is for the tires, and the noise inside the car is certainly more than most
people want.
I would like to see less salt, but I am in a minority. I would also like
to spend some time in Sweden, or Iceland–I have friends in Iceland– but all
of this is avoiding the simple question I asked in the first place:
Who knows of all-season radials that are particularly good in snow?
Bye for now.
