XC60 Tyres
I am going to change the front tyres on my 16 XC60 next month at 17500 miles. I intend to move the rears to the front and the new tyres on the rear.
Now I realise that tyre preferences are subjective but would welcome views on the "best" tyres to get. Not looking for outright hyper dry grip performance, well past that life stage, but fuel mileage and wet grip are probably high on my requirements list All season tyres seem to offer some advantages? I am currently on Pirrelli Scorpion Verde, not at all impressed and my thinking is to change brand on one axle now and match the other axle next year. |

Got a set of used Nokian Weatherproof on mine, (2008) XC60, bought them with approx 7mm left, now done 23000ish miles & they are down to 3mm. I find them good in wet conditions, no applicable pull through one sided deep puddles not too much noise on motorway dry conditions , so all in all would be very happy to replace with the same, recently got a quote of £140 each fully fitted for 235/60/10/107s so not the cheapest available but not the most expensive either, btw got my set of 4 second hand for £100 + £10 each for fitting & balance at my local Protyre so may be worth looking on e-bay etc.
PS had the same Pirrelli on when I got the car but also didn't rate them.

Decided to go Michelin, either Latitude or Cross Climate depending on further research.

My oem contis have done 32k except for the months on the Nokia suv3 winters and have been rotated....was hoping to get another year out of the current 8 tyres.........the Nokians were used when I got them......
When they are all done thinking of changing to cross climates save the hassle of changing twice a year |

I have cross climates on mine.
Fitted 18,000 miles ago all 4 wearing at pretty much the same rate as measured at the service at the weekend & about 4.5 - 5mm all round still. Used mainly on the Motorways in all weathers, defo will be getting another set if required (unless I swap the car 1st) I run the Eco Pressure -1 psi all around

I have just had Crossclimates fitted to replace my Goodyear Wranglers.
The problem I have is that having a FWD XC60 the rear tyres do little but brake while the fronts both drive an brake. The effect on my tyre tread is exacerbated by the fact that I do a considerable amount of hill work so heavy driving work up for fronts and heavy braking down for both with fronts doing the majority. Add to this that I tow a considerable number of miles and the effect on my tyre tread is that the rear tyres 'block' or 'sawtooth' fairly quickly as all they do is brake. It's not a particular problem save for the droning noise that this creates much like a wheel bearing going. I do the tyre rotation as suggested by Oponeo for this effect which does help. I am just hoping a change of tread pattern might reduce the effect. Too early to comment on the tyre yet but the silence is golden! |
