Default Mounted my brand new Dunlop Graspic DS2s last night.. Initial impression, they're great...

I had Nokian Hakkapellitta Qs last 2 years, broke one. I liked the price on these at the Tire Rack, liked the design..

These DS2s gripped the early snow we had here in Vermont exceedingly well, ride well, and handle as well as a brand new snow tire will on wet pavement. =)

I'd recommend these for anyone looking for a good aggressive studless snow tire.

Default 2nd that. They are good in the snow and good on the ice. But have some tread squirm due to the

soft rubber compound when driven on the dry roads.

I was pleasently suprized by how good they are on hard pack ice/snow and in deeper snow.

I still think the Bridgestone Revo 1 is better on ice, but it the Dunlop DS2 is better in deeper snow. Neither tire handles as well as the Dunlop M3/3D. But that wasn't the primary goal of the Dunlop DS2. Plus the price of the Dunlop DS2 makes it very attractive.

How is noise and squirm in dry compared to the Hakkas?
