V70 Tramlining - poll
Threads are often popping up regarding tramlining & tyres are obviously an issue, so I thought I'd set up a poll to see if we can find the "definitive" tyre for the V70. Is it only the V70? Is it only on 17" wheels? Your thoughts?

It affects the 17 and 18 inch wheels.
I would HIGHLY reccomend the Goodyear Eagle F1's or Continental SportContact2's Michelin Pilots are fine but are a bit noisy I find.

Having just chnaged from the standard and blinkin aweful 15" alloy wheels to some decent 7 spoke Volvo 17" wheels with P-Zero's on, excellent tyre on the car and helps the understeer a lot. Now I find the back swinging round a lot harder than prior to fitting these....

I have the original 15" alloys on my 850 estate and have just removed the P6000s. In place I have opted for "other" tyres, Kumho 195/55v, excellent ride and handling and no more squeals on roundabouts.

They're not massively noisy, but certainly an increased noise over some other tyres on offer! |
