Yup, by looking at the 97 TC order guide, ABS is standard on all three trim levels, TC is standard on Cartier only, part of a couple of packages, and optional on Executive and Signature.  97TC order by dabangsta, on Flickr  97TC order_2 by dabangsta, on Flickr

My dad's old '96 CVPI had ABS and no TC. Car was from Kansas. Huh. Would love to have seen the window sticker from that car. I was of the belief that all ABS equipped '95-'97 CV's and GMQ's had TC as well. I do recall back when that form of TC came out Ford issued a service bulletin on how to disable it using IDS, seems a lot of police departments were complaining about it.

Yeah, it was a fun car. Learned how to drive in it! Definitely did not have TC, could do all the burnouts and donuts we wanted, and it had no problem sliding around in the snow. And then when you slammed on the brakes, ABS would definitely kick in.
It was a dark blue undercover. Had steelies with the standard CV wheel covers, civvy interior with a cassette player, and no markings.

There are 4 (or more!) Goodyear Assurance models. All Season, TripleTred, ComforTred, Fuel Max. I could see two of them excelling at wet, the other 2 not so much. GY comfort tread on the 01 MGM, they are great, better than the frog skins that were OE. It does have TC, never had any issues with it, but then again I don't hammer on it. That's what the P71 is for and it does not have TC.

Good year in any form other than triple treads and their performance tires eat dicks Do you have pictures of Goodyear tires eating dicks? No pictures mean it did not happen! LOL

RSA's and LS's weren't known for their longevity. Agreed. I believe they were known for sucking monkey balls. Do you have pictures of RSA's sucking monkey balls? No pictures it didn't happen! LOL

My first '05 P71 had RSA's, awful AWFUL tires! Poor treadwear, terrible on wet pavement, and just about useless in snow. Never again.
