SignatureJon Waite JB Productions > What are the best front tires for a V70 T5 with 16 inch wheels? > > Anyone tried Yokohama > thanks That's a tough question to answer, what do you want in a tire? Long life? Sticky treads? Firm ride, soft ride, maximum fuel economy, lowest cost, and any number of other factors, many of which are mutually exclusive. >> What are the best front tires for a V70 T5 with 16 inch wheels? >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Sticky treads?

Best for speed / best for wet best for cornering and braking - tire life immaterial. SignaturePeter Watson >What are the best front tires for a V70 T5 with 16 inch wheels? >Anyone tried Yokohama >thanks Go for a good one, goodyear, michelin. Money saved on tyres means more money spent on mileage, wear, riscs. Pi Every time I et aother Volvo I always put the same tires on them- Pirelli P6 I know Yokohama's prolly "score better" on the various surveys, but the Pirelli's have never let me down, in over 20 years now. Not much pricier than Goodyears, either. Michelins are also excllent, but I don't get the same wear from them for some reason even with the same tread ratings. Just me 2 cents worth. >>What are the best front tires for a V70 T5 with 16 inch wheels? >>Anyone tried Yokohama [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Pi > What are the best front tires for a V70 T5 with 16 inch wheels? > > Anyone tried Yokohama > thanks I put 4 new Yokohamas on my V40 and drove to France in May. A back one blew out at 130kph - I'm not trying them again. I bought 2 new Michelin (the Volvo fitted tyre) in France: 450 euros. >> What are the best front tires for a V70 T5 with 16 inch wheels? >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >out at 130kph - I'm not trying them again.

I have since done some research - TyreTest.com FOR THE VOLVO TyreTest.com: Average of 15 completed tests Score: 1-best 6-worst Ø2.0 Grip in dry conditions 1.5 Braking in dry condtions 1.5 Grip in wet conditions 2.0 Braking in wet condition 2.1 Grip in snow 4.7 Comfort 2.3 Tyre noise (in car) 2.3 Tyre noise (external) 2.2 Tyre wear 2.4 Kilometers driven 264.000 Vredestein *** Tyre producer from the Netherlands in mid price segment ULTRAC 205/50 ZR16 87W Rim-protection Summer tyres Test results Reifentest.com (english) Speed W: the speed capability of this tires is up to 168 mph/270 km/h ! We only supply the tire. If there is a rim shown on the picture, it is just to symbolize. Created by Vredestein in partnership with Giugiaro Design, the Ultrac is the ultimate tyre for the high end of the market. With its rounded shapes, flowing contour and inclined corners, the Ultrac is superbly designed. It is also blessed with many high-tech features. Take, for example, the Ultimate Handling Construction (UHC). This construction gives the Ultrac a high handling ratio, resulting in exceptional handling on wet and dry roads. Again, look at the Centre Shift System (CSS) found in the middle of the tyre, by shifting the right and left tread parts in relation to the centre section, noise production is minimised. And finally, the use of Full Silica Silan Solution in the tread compound means the Ultrac performs superbly on wet road surfaces as well as being safe in all other weather conditions. With us only only £ 74.20 Postage and packing costs are included in the price!

If you notice some of these tyre tests cover even fewer km's, like low teens, so be a little wary?
