Volvofan,

To answer the question - no, it doesnt go consistently in any one direction. I guess it just doesnt have enuff grip like you said, resulting in alternate slippage Left and Right tires.

Hmm, you're right after all. Thanks for the correction, volvofan & John B. Learned sumthing new today ... :-)

Now to the other point as described by derspi. I think it IS a problem for Turbo FWD volvos not to have sufficient grip on low-speed pick-up. Anyone with 215/45 17 tires care to comment whether you experience massive slippage in these circumstances, cos I don't see how else one can overcome this problem short of getting fatter tires. Not that I would want lower profile tires, the stock ride is harsh enuff as it is already
