tire recommendation?

I have a 1995 Volvo T-5R with 111,000 miles, and I have been using Kumho 235/40R-17 tires which I don't like. I would like to replace all 4 of them with something good, and I am considering the BFG g Force Sport and the Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2. So, do you have a tire recommendation, and would swit...

holy diagnostic codes, Batman

My check engine light went on, so I checked my codes, and I came up with the following:
a2: 433
a3: 444 213 214 444
a7: 122 112 132
b1: 211 235
b2: 122
What do codes 122 and 112 for A7 mean?
What do the codes for b1 mean?
Thanks,
coffee

Well, we got the car back after having had the PNP switch replaced, and............. it works perfectly!!! Now I need to bring our other 850 in (my T5R) for the same service; it has the same symptoms. Thanks for the info, everyone! Much cheaper than 3 mechanics had said: you need a new transmission....

lights?

No, I'm not using any special audio equipment; standard issue speakers, and an in-dash single cd player (SC-800 something; 815?)

lights?

I have a 1995 Volvo 850 T5R sedan, and lately have had something strange happening with the lights; I turn on the headlights, and then the lights for the odometer/speedometer go out within a few seconds, and my gear shifter light goes out, too. Once in a blue moon, they all come on again. Fuse looks...
