Tires for 1998 Volvo S70 GLE ( P195/60R15 ) S70 1996

Hi,

My Pirelli all-season tires on my Volvo is wearing down soon, and I am considering the following tires after visiting Tire Rack website:

1) Bridgestone Potenza RE88
2) Bridgestone Potenza RE92
3) Bridgestone Potenza RE950
4) Bridgestone Eager
5) Continental ContiTouring Contact CH95
6) Goodyear Eagle HP
7) Goodyear Eagle RS-A
8) Yokohama Avid H4

I would appreciate hearing your feedback, if any of you have these tires on your S70 or previously had a set of them on your Volvo. Personally, my heart is on the one of the Potenza's or the Yokohama, but my Dad thinks I should go
for the one of Goodyear Eagle instead.

I heard bad things about the Continental ContiTouring Contact CH95. Is this true ?

Most of my driving involves a mixture between city & highway driving. I want
excellent handling & braking on wet- & dry-roads. Without saying too much, I occassionally " have fun " with my Volvo, so having a good set of tires with the best handling capabilities on dry & wet roads is very important to me. If possible, a little traction for snow would be nice, but not too important, as I have a SUV. My Pirelli P6000 Sport Velocites tires are awesome on wet and dry roads, but SUCKS when the first snowfall falls to the ground.

Thanks in Advance,
