I can't comment on the newer 17" wheel tire combo, but I can say that my experience with the Pirelli tires on my '95 was horrible. The sidewalls of the Pirellis are awful. I had three blowouts over a two year period. I switched to Bridgestone SO2's and have never looked back. They are a serious performance tire and the tread wear is good for about 25k, but the ride and safety level are far superior to the pirellis.
I am in the process of purchasing a new S60R, and the one caveat is that the 18" wheel be shod with something other than Pirelli tires.

Good Luck!
