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.
