Best Tires for the Volvo 2005 S60 R

I couldn't fault these winter tires, they're proper cold rubber, quiet, very good grip and at the same time safe on wet, dry and snow covered roads. On the downside I found them not great on fuel economy probably due to quite soft rubber compound but nothing drastic here. I've just ordered a new set for a 3rd winter in a row. I would recommend them to anyone.

These tires were ok in dry and wet conditions but extraordinarily poor in snow.

I am just about to fit my 6th set of Falken FK-452s. I had three set on my Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 and am just about to fit a 3rd set to my Volvo S60 R. Given that both cars have over 300bhp and 4WD, I think the Falkens give exceptional life - I've never had less than 20,000 miles from a set and the best set lasted 24,300 miles. Wet weather grip is not compromised by such longevity and the directional nature of the tread ensures that standing water is dispersed quickly, with no aquaplaning. I would recommend these tires highly.

These tires are excellent, I love the asthetics of the tread design and the way it cuts through the wet. I had Pirelli P Zero's before and the side wall was weak and offered hardly any rim protection.

This is where the F1 leads, the Side wall is stronger and Rim protection is good. The grip is fantastic in the dry and is also great in the wet however its more noticable based on the wider the tire the better.

Unfortunately the V tread pattern tire has been discontinued so no more I am sad to say, my next tire will be the F1 assym, which from what I have heard should be good. I hope Goodyear refine the V tread pattern style and bring the design back as it is a good looking tire. I did notice that it was fotted to the Knight Rider Car KITT, which was shown in a american episode in February. Was this advertising?

Look forward to Goodyears further developments.

Happy Motoring everybody
