V70 Tramlining - poll

Jun 2nd, 2006, 22:45

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.

.........and S40's on 15" wheels - usually on P6000's - I'm running Contis these days (and they're quieter).

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 245/45-17 Michelin Pilot sports on my S60 and have never once had any problem with noise, but I find it interesting that you do on a V70

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.

I have 1*" rims on my V70 and there is hardly any tramlining at all with the Dunlops SP9000,
I am going to fit 17" Comets next week with Pirelli P Zero 215/45/17 so will report back, sooner than you think by some pm's i have been getting

Mines a S60 too.

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