Car Forum / Volvo Cars / December 200618 inch Pirelli p-zero rossi for S60R
Hello all, I just sub-let an S60R with the factory tires. They need replacing. I've heard lots of complaints about the factory tires because they don't last long. They are also pricey. What other options are there? > Hello all, > I just sub-let an S60R with the factory tires. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > They are also pricey. > What other options are there? Check Yokohama.

I don't know about any 18 inch, but those with a low aspect ratio will exhibit those traits, sure. Said another way most of us would expect a 40 series tire be harder riding than a 70 series tire. But Pirelli tires seem to take those traits to an extreme. In my experience Pirelli tires seem to be noisier and harsh riding than Yokohamas and to a lesser extent than Michelins. > ins't any 18" on a small sedan going to be > noisy and harsh riding?....

They're all season and work really well in the rain and pretty good in snow. A lot quieter and not at all harsh when using the "comfort" setting for your suspension. > Hello all, > I just sub-let an S60R with the factory tires.

I've never tried Michelins but I replaced the original soft Pirellis on my '95 850T with all season Bridgestone Potenzas, which got very good reviews for wet-road handling. They weren't cheap (nothing is cheap in Finland except Baltic herring) but they have lasted much longer than the originals. cheers, Henry |
