Tire Recommendations V70-XC70

my 2 cents, I have stuck with MICHELIN (on several cars) all feel solid at speed.


XGT H4 or XGT V4 - expensive, noisy when worn, harsh, excellent wet and dry, bad snow, not last long (not made, and would not buy if they were)

MXV4 - noisy, lots of tread life, good wet dry and snow (I would not buy again because the MXV4+ is much better)

MXV4 plus -quiet, smooth, lots of tread life not high performance but excellent in wet and snow (This is a good family car tire, just dont try to be Mike Scheumaker)

PILOT XGT4 (h and z) - I have the Z on my T5, all I can say is WOW (awesome on dry, excellent on wet and snow) quiet, seem to be wearing well (only 10k) but expensive and not made anymore. The H rated were not as smooth or quiet but good in snow and rain

PILOT sport - we have only had them for 2 months, excellent handling wet and dry

My next set will either be the new PILOT M&S if I'm still in a "pin the passanger to the side window in a turn" mode or I'll go with the more sane MXV4+ (for average driving they are unbeatable, they just aren't made for cornering)


Advice if you are going with high performance tires get the strut brace it made a big difference in the ride of the car and the better the tire you get the more you will feal the improvement with the strut brace.
