I have size 195/60 R15 tires. The ones I specifically bought are from Tirerack, and they are the Kumho Ecsta HP4 716s. Got pretty damn good reviews, and I love them right now. They're doing excellently.

As Rtilgman said however, the Volvos are pigs due to the fact that they are RWD and have a light rear end. If you are in a region where it snows a lot, you may have a problem pulling out of parking spots. Otherwise, it's good enough.

I live in NYC and it's good enough for me. Upstate NY I could handle it as well, but I preferred not to drive in the snow because I was afraid of getting stuck in a spot. Also, don't expect to go up mountains with all seasons.

BTW, the Kumhos were $37 each when I bought it.
