I've had both the Yoko AVS dBs on my '92 AWD SVX, the original and the S2 are both very good in the rain. The originals were alot quieter, but the S2's are much better in the snow.

I also have the Dunlop S-5000 AS (assymetrical) on my '97 (same tire size as the stock '92). The DUnlops are equal to both Yokos in the rain and closer to the S2's in snow. They are just a little nosier than the S2s.


The rear end should NOT trade places with the front even if you're having fun on a curvy road. A light rain can sometimes bring oil which has been imbedded in the road to the surface (oil floats on water). If this happens alot in rain on different roads it is not oil. Is you tire pressures set with approx. 5 psig more in front than in back? Is your AWD clutch pack smooth or herky jerky in its action? How are the struts?
All these things can affect the cars attitude and grip in a turn.

I'm sorry but you won't like this last statement.
The last thing is that you were going way, way too fast for the conditions and not using the gas/brakes properly for an AWD car.
