[B]TYRES ON MY V70 T5
No doubt you will have herd this time and time again and also on this forum. I have a set of P6000 with loads of mileage left. I have read about them being rubbish on T5,s. With tyre pressures of 33lbs allround I find the drive very loose to say the least. My question is what are the preferred tyres that fellow forum members have fitted to their V70T5,s.

i think it depends how you drive it,
it can also depend on your budget,
i dont see the point of spending a fortune on a tyre
that will apparently give more grip etc as i think on the front
of a volvo you got crappy front wheel drive so even if you paint them with glue the thing will feel loose,
but on a possitive note,
a lot of the cheaper brand tyres are made by big manufacturers,
i.e pirrelli,dunlop,continental etc etc,
they make cheaper line tyres because fewer sales are made with the brand names which are mainly high priced because of the name & not the quality,
softer compounds grip better but wear out quicker as opposed to harder compounds that last for ages but give poor grip,
plus all the manufactures have to make the tyres to a certain standard,
cheaper or expensive they all have to follow the same rules,
hope this helps

Good Year Eage F1 GSD3's are simply awesome but you will pay for their grip with lifespan.

That's the TYRES' lifespan, not yours, if all goes well :)
