I've heard the same...

I am not a big fan of the Pirelli P6's that are stock with the car. Since I am leasing... I will not be spending any huge $$$ on good tires.

I had the Kumho Exta 712's on my S70 T5 and found them to be the best tire for the buck...They are no P Zeros or Potenzas but they hold and corner well in dry and wet. They suck in snow and mud tho!!!

I've heard that the P6's that are stock are a Ford thing... smae tire as on the Focus and other Ford / Mazda cars... T figgured Ford would have learned its lesson about bad tires after the Firestone issues of the last few years.
I liked it better when the Volvo's were stocked with Michellins.

Cheers!
