My FWD 2006 V70 is not so good getting up my driveway, which is moderately steep, in the snow. Any recommendation for tires that might help?

What tires do you have on it now? This will help determine what tires will be better.

I bought the car last year with these tires. These are the markings on the tires. Continental, ContiProContact, 205/55, Treadware 400 Traction AA. Thanks

You may want to give these a try:Bridgestone Blizzak. They have the best rating for a winter tire that fits your car. You may want to consider getting a set of wheels(for the winter) as well, that way it is a bit easier to switch between winter and summer tires.
