I have a 01 C70 and it came with those damn Pirelli P 6000 which I hated to no end. When the car got to 20k miles and the Pirellis were worn out I went on a tire hunt. I dont want to drop 750-1000 in tires every other year. To make a long story short I ended up with some Falken Azenis Sport and they only cost $100 per tire and they handle great all year round. It has a lot of rubber hitting the road for good traction and control. Its a soft tire thats barely street legal its a SCCA tire. I love it. I did almost put some Yokohamas on it as I like them too. No need to put on Pilot Sports. I have driven these tires hard (140mph + through a canyon while I was dusting a Lexus) and they have never even squealed. I cannot say the same for the Pirellis. Why Volvo put those tires on the car when they were new I dont know. Maybe they got them for half off or something.
