V70 T5 Tire recommendations V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be webperson on  Sun Feb 23 01:55 CST 2003 [RELATED]

After 15 years and 325,000 miles, I gave away my beloved 740T and bought a V70 T5. Holy cow, is this thing fast! You guys were right!!! I also have a 2.8 BMW Z3, and I swear, the T5 is faster.

Came with winter tires, which are on now, and four summer tires on the stock 16 inch wheels. 205/55/16, if I recall correctly. It will soon be time to replace them.

I am looking for your recommendations...

My driving habits are not "agressive" (well, not usually) but I do have a stretch of 90 - 100 mph for about 40 minutes twice a week, between CT and MA.

Can I get 40,000 miles, low rolling resistance, stiff sidewalls (not squirmy) and a quiet tire? A "Stiff" ride is ok.

Thanks in advance
