spinski Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I haven't seen this on this forum but it is very graphic evidence of why I don't buy Volvos anymore (I've had 5 - 145's, 245's and my last was a 940 wagon).

rporter Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 It's a test of how tires perform, not the cars. Similar to the LGT having lousy 70-0 and 60-0 brake results in the mag tests. it's not the brakes, it's the tires. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psi365 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 True it does show the difference in tires, but its also shows the difference between a real awd systen versus the psuedo Haldex awd system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rporter Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I'll bet that if they tried the same test with a new LGT (no lsd up front, and with RE92s), it wouldn't go any farther than the Volvo. I ran into issues on level ground when I still had those tires on it. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
