V70 ride quality

Mar 19th, 2003, 22:08

Hi,
I have just bought a V70 'classic style' ( 2000) to replace my 850 which was destroyed by a lorry ( A Volo ironically !), any other car and I probably wouldn't be here to tell the tale! anyway enough of my ramblings. The ride on my V70 is very hard ( or 'firm' as Volvo would describe it) much worse than my 850, crashing over potholes and nervous on rough roads. Is there anything I can do to improve matters. My tyres are due for replacement ( Pirelli p6000), any better options?. What about suspension upgrades, I would like self leveling.

Andy.

hi andy

a quick thought- are your tyres low profile? if they are you might find that having less low profile tyres might help.
