We put Graspic DS1 tires on my Pontiak TransSport and DS2 on my wife's Mystique and daughter's Neon. They have been excellent. I moved the DS1 set to my PT Cruiser last year (season #7) and found they were starting to loose effectiveness, so I needed to buy new tires for it this year. Daughter sold the Neon and got a new Civic - so new snows required there too. It's Graspic DS3 all the way!!! No snow here in Southern Ontario yet - and I've just been notified the new tires have come in - so I'll be mounting them this week. Oversized 205/70/14 on the cruiser for extra ground clearance, and stock sized 15 inchers on the Civic We had Blizzaks on my daughter’s colt - it would go anywhere the first year, but by the second winter they had lost much of their effectiveness.

We were on the way home when caught in an unexpected storm. The conditions were bad, it didn't look like much but the roads were very slick and traffic was moving about 15 mph on the hiway. The abs and traction lights were always coming on the whole trip and I could feel the sliding.. After making it home, I wanted to try the Graspics on my 95 Tercel. I drove with no problems then went to a local lot accelerating, stopping hard, making serpentine turns close to light poles then locking the wheel and driving in tight circles. I'm very pleased to say that at this point the Graspics have performed beyond my expectations.

In the past I've used Blizzaks on my VW and Neon and still use Nokians on my Prius. I just had these Graspics installed yesterday on my 95 Tercel (13"). They felt a littly squirlly on the dry hiway yesterday but not too bad as they are new and Winter tires. The tread design seems aggressive and the tire has plenty of sipes. For my 13" tires I paid $52 each and had them nitrogen filled. CJ's Tires did the install, their prices were the best in the area and their service was superb. I'm expecting sleet and light snow tomorrow so may have an additional report at that time and as weather conditions vary, ie deeper snow and ice. This is my first set of Graspics.
