After replacing the crappiest tires I've ever had on a vehicle with dedicated snow tires this month, I am "falling in love all over again" with the Volvo XC90. I drove in light and heavy snow last night, passing slower cars and suvs (at safe speeds and distances mom). It was wonderful to brake forcefully in the muck and have the tire perform in a stable and predictable manner.
Last year, while making a gentle post-stoplight 90 degree turn on a very slightly graded road, the car slid and hit a curb. I couldn't have been going more than 5-10 mph (and 10 is stretching it). Cost me $1500. Never again.
