New tire recommendation, limited choices V70-XC70 98 AWD

posted by  someone claiming to be Doug on  Sun Nov 11 05:01 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I hate these new tire postings, but my 98 V70 AWD is needing new tires and Tirerack.com has a VERY limited choice. I am currently using Continental's CH95, 205/55 16. I replaced the factory tires at 24,000 and now have 24,000 miles on these with a few more thousand still left. These were $61 each including shipping from tirerack.com in 1999. Now, the only selections they have in this size are:

Bridgestone Potenza RE950, $99

Dunlop SP Sport 5000 asymetrical, $101

Michelin Pilot XGT Z4, $161

Yokohama AVS db, $99

Michelin XGT V4, $103

The handling of my Contis has been fine as well as snow use here in northwest Connecticut. Any suggestions in this size range? What comes on the new XCs?
