Went to BFG Touring T/A on my V8 recently.  225/60/15 V-Rated (Don't
tell anybody, but I have been known to exceed the H rating....) and am
very happy.  They are much quiter than the D40M2 I was running.
I gave up excellent wet/dry traction exceptable snow traction for 
decent dry, excellent wet but much better snow traction.
	
	
I run D60/A2 on an 89 100 Avant.  Wet/Dry ok, bit noisy..., decent in snow.

I'll be switching to BFG Touring T/A as soon as they come off national 
back order for 205/60/15 :-(
