[V8] Dunlop Graspics

[Ingo Rautenberg]

I do NOT recommend Blizzaks for the V8.  For an idea what might be good for
the V8, look to UrS4/S6 users opinions of snow tires, as they are just about
the same weight as the V8.  You want a stiffer sidewall than the Blizzaks
for sure, or if you're running the Blizzaks, overinflate them.  I used to
have Pirelli Winter 190's (now discontinued, I believe) on the '91 200q20v
and was happy with them.  Also a fan of the Hakka Q tires.  My biggest
complaint with the Blizzaks is they are sh*tty in the dry or wet roads and
extremely mushy.  They are great on ice.  Unless that's all you drive on, I
would look elsewhere.  I save mine for Steamboat Springs CO ;-)

longer and ran better in wet/slush than the Alpins... which we got a lot of
in PA... no Graspic experience but I also got my Tire Rack mailer and
wondered about them...
