Best Tires for the Volvo S80 2 liter diesel se sport

Wanted the Primacy 3's again. 20k out of those and was happy. currently 21k out of these, after tire swaps front to back at 14k. currently 5mm front and rear. Its November and really want to change to winter tires, but can't see the point as there is too much left on these tires after 10 months of use.

They don't keep pressure too well. tend to lose 2 to 3 psi all round in a month. obviously they get softer and comfort kicks in before steering gets heavier.

straight line traction is OK in acceleration. braking is a different matter. these are the only tires that have caused me wheel shake on baking hard. (disks and pads changed for the same reason, but the effect is still due to the tires at 38 or 36 psi both sides.

A superb premium tire at a budget price! I am now on my second set with my S80 Volvo Mark II and the car feels planted and solid. It is only a matter of time before these tires get pushed into the premium price bracket.

I am a sensible driver and do not speed or push my car hard, but I do like the reassuring grip these tires give in both wet ad dry conditions.

This review is for the new Sailun Atrezzo ZSR tire the new UHP tire from Sailun. I opted for the new design and technology tire from this up and coming firm as a result of my previous Atrezzo ZS+ tires which have been very good in terms of grip, noise levels and their durability (incidentally the ZS+ have been on the car for 18 months, covered in excess of 18k miles and still have a good 5mm of tread all across the tire).

I am pleased to say that these new tires have so far performed very well. They are quiet, the feedback from the road through the steering linkage is sure and you feel the grip. For those looking for a good looking tire this fits the bill there too. I am more than happy to have paid a shade over £50 each for these tires (225/50/17W 98XL, you never know what you're going to get from a budget tire but you will not be disappointed in your purchase with these. You would be forgiven for thinking that you could pay over £80-90 for these little gems.

I now have Sailuns on all four wheels and I never feel that I am about to lose control over the front or back wheels. Really happy with these and will most definitely recommend to friends.

Firstly I have to say that the tires I bought were the Atrezzo ZS+ and not the UHP but the tire isn't represented in the table.

The tires were purchased to go on the back of my Volvo S80, so quite a hefty lump of metal. I have covered close to 20000 miles in the car and with the Atrezzo's covering approximately 15000 of those miles. I was a little apprehensive about buying a tire I had heard little about but I need not have worried. The tires have performed superbly. They hold the road very well both in the dry and under heavy rain. The ride is generally quite quiet, more so than the Dunlops they replaced. The tread pattern in modern and the tire as a whole looks to be more expensive than it actually is. There is still plenty of tread left, 5.5mm pretty much across the full tire. When I purchased these they were £60 each fully fitted Inc VAT. I would most definitely recommend Sailun as an alternative and have in fact just booked the car in to have two Atrezzo ZSR's put on the front. (Priced at £106 all in for 2x 225/50R 17W 98XL)
