I tried the new graspic on my wifes Saab 9000 turbo - they were terrible, they aqua planed on wet roads and would not cut into slush at all. Maybe it was the car but the car worked well with haka 10

Has anyone tried the Dunlop Graspics (sp?)  They "look" like a similar
compound to the Blizzak.  Unlike the Blizzak they don't turn into
all-season after 20k mi. Their price looks good - how is the tire?
