Replacing my tires... What do you have on yours? S70

posted by  someone claiming to be Ed M. on  Fri Mar 1 02:02 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I had Michelon MXV4s on my 1998 S70 and did not like them. I switched to Nolian NRVs which lasted 40k mi. Excellent summer tire( I run Nokian snows in the winter). Much smoother ride than the Michelons and excellent in the rain. Replaced them with Nokian NRH2--a H rated tire. Even better riding with a slight decrease in handling. Also, very quiet. Bear in mind that this is a summer tire only. I picked Nokian because I had excellent results with their snow tires and also because the tires are designed in Finland where the roads and weather are similar to where I live--Upstate NY. In addition, the price is quite reasonable--mine were $73 including balancing and installation for 205/60/15 tires. Other tires I considered and I think are good buys include Dunlop Sport A2 and Bridgestone 950. Both get great ratings on www.tirerack.com.
