What tyres do you recommend for a Volvo V40 (T4) they will be for 17 inch wheels. What is everyone running as i feel like there are so many brands and ratings that im confused.

I used to fit 215/45/17 Matador MP46's on my 2.0t and diesel

They used to squeel abit if pushed hard in warm weather but i liked them and don't exactly drive steady

Great tyres.

Uniroyal Rainsport 3 - can be found for £55 a corner

Other tyres are available but they're not as good

I would avoid Toyo Proxes, as they grip like glue, but wear like soap. I have them on the front at the moment because they were p/w and cheap.

Uniroyal rainsport 3 if you have a budget, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 if you have no budget.
