My '95 854 Turbo is running Bridgestone Potenza RE910s in the 205/55 size. What I like about the tire is it's wet weather performance, especially with the harsh winters we get here in the midwest. The ride is great, but handling is just SUB-PAR on dry conditions. When I push my 850 to the limit on turns, the tires will scream. Something that didn't happen when I had the stock Michelin Pilots. One other disadvantage of the RE910s is that they are only T-rated tires, which means top speed is 118mph, when in fact my Volvo has the potential to blast past 140lbs. Overall, it's a good tire that wears well, so if you want a good all-season tire with decent performance go with the RE910s. In the future, however, I'll probably go with something more aggressive for dry pavement, because I drive my 850 hard.
