remind me not to let you drive my truck Jellomancer. Or any RWD vehicle with a V-6 or larger.

Get to an open parking lot and practice practice practice. #1 it's fun. #2 it may save your life along with someone elses.
 
I have brand new Yokohama tires for my '94 Q45 and it still fishtails like crazy every time it rains and I come out of a turn accelerating. It's fun until it happens in traffic. 🙁

The 240 is a fairly quick car, the real problem is its weight. 50/50 distro makes it beautiful for slidding around on dry roads, but wet roads and the lightness of the car make it deadly. Jellomancer, get some sand bags and get them in your trunk asap. Had a few close calls today in my car (we just got 3-4 inches of snow here!)... need to get some weight. Don't use bricks or anything else like that, thats dangerous.

I use 30 bags of sand in my bed when I want more traction. Home Depot sells them. they are called "tube sand" and in strong woven plastic/fiberglass bags. ( or something like that ) They are 50lb each. 2-3 will do wonders if you put them over your rear end.
