Car Forum / Volvo Cars / May 2006Volvo `99 S80 T6 Tire Recommendations
Volvo `99 S80 T6 Tire Recommendations It's time to replace the tires on this vehicle. We bought it used a couple of years ago with the KUMO ECSTA Supra tires on it. Living in southern Missouri, I think it would be prudent to replace the KUMO's with some type of all season tire... Any recommendations, as well as information regarding tires to avoid, will be appreciated. T.I.A.

I would suggest that you use summer-tyres on such a high performance car and during winter time you switch to snowtyres. The best is to use a European make on the car preferrably a Michelin tyre. > Any recommendations, as well as information regarding tires to avoid, > will be appreciated. > > T.I.A.

If you like the Kumho's why not go for their all season tire? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Solus+KH16&vehi cleSearch=true&partnum=255HR6KH16&fromCompare1=yes I have found Tire Rack a wonderful place to get tires BTW...

I read great reviews of the Toyo Proxes 4 all season tires and put a set on my 854T. They're almost as good as the Michelin Pilots that came as original equipment on the car -- a good compromise as long as you don't require "ultimate" performance. I also read rave reviews about the Pirelli P-zero Nero, but it was a lot more expensive than the Toyo Proxes 4. http://www.1010tires.com/tirereviews/Toyo_Proxes_4_tire_reviews.html http://www.1010tires.com/tirereviews/Pirelli_P- Zero_Nero_M&S_tire_reviews.html Rick > Volvo `99 S80 T6 Tire Recommendations > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > T.I.A. Take a look at the Yokohama Avid and AS430 series. Very nice tire and reasonably priced, especially the AS430.
