Although I don't think traction control can compare to quattro,
I must point out that the OEM Michelin MXV2s on our 850 are the
worst tyres on snow that I have ever encountered. Hence my current
search for replacements. I am sure that the traction control would
have performed at least a little better with better tyres.
