Our favorite subjective subject, but I think I have more of a specific question. I am thinking about new tires for the S70 in stock size of 205/55-16. The car has the Bilsteins, strut tower brace, and rear cargo coils (no lowering for me!).

I was looking at the Bridgestone Pole Position S03. All the reviews indicate that this is a fanatastic tire. However, I have two questions:

1) What's your experience with treadwear on the S70/850/or any Volvo? I would like to get 25K out of the tire under normal driving conditions (i.e. no track days).

2) How is this tire on cold days? No snow here, but it can get down into the upper 30s. Will this tire become a beast as the rubber hardens at those temps?

I'm also looking at the Michelin Pilot Sport, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, and Brigestone RE950.

Thanks!
