Bob you are so correct! I have a 1998 Volvo V70 GLT, just changed the MXV4s after 53000 miles. The tires were great on the Volvo - no problems in any conditions. On my 2000 9-5 with 18,000 miles it's a completely different story. On the 9-5 I have had a problem with the front end breaking away in the wet, both laterally and in-line. The weight distribution and torque characteristics of the Volvo are quite different from the 9-5 - that makes all the difference.
My winter car is a C900T with Nokian NRW. The NRW's are just great. I can drive the 900 very agressivly in wet/snow without any worries. When I switch back to driving the 9-5 with MXV4s I have to be very careful if the pavement is damp.
