Tire Recommendations V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be B. De Denko on  Tue Oct 22 19:46 CST 2002 [RELATED]

On my '98 V70 - T5,
I've used Michelin pilot sport (Z - rated, came with the car), good grip w/d, started getting harsh around 25K, replaced at 35K.
Next came Dunlop SP9000 (Z), surprisingly good grip, fewer $ than Pilots, good in w/d, lasted about 30K, quiet.
Next came Pirelli P7000 Super Sports (Z, all wx), also a good performer w/d, but significantly noisier. Replaced all four due to a sheetrock screw in the sidewall at 27K (had maybe 5 - 10K left).
Currently running Bridgestone RE02 Pole Position (Z), very impressive performance, seem stickier than all the others, quiet, wet performance unknown until we get into winter in the next months...
