Re: New Tire Suggestions, Please
Wow, just wow. Sears now has a "turnaround" CEO I read somewhere... we'll see if the ship can be turned at this point.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.
Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I have used TIRERACK.com now for all my cars now & they DEFINITELY have the BEST prices & service. I have used the Goodyear Triple tred Assurance on both my '01 V70 & my daughter's '96 850 and they have superior handling for all season. I have personally gone though 5-6 inches of snow in my V70 with them...no problem... but I have since then acquired 2 sets of wheels, one for summer weather which I use Sumitomo's & for winter we use the Continental Extreme Contact tires... We live in PA so I just make the switch in early spring & late fall. Tire Rack has some awesome looking wheels for volvos as well !Very knowledgable associates to help...
Thanks. How long did it for Tirerack to send them to you? I am also finding that b/c I have AWD (and maybe there's another reason I can't remember right now), when 1 goes all 4 have to be replaced unless of course tread is still really good.

It took usually less than 1 week. I had them sent to my local "certified Installer", mine was a MONRO center. They charged me approx $50-60.00 to mount & balance. All in all, it was always a pleasant experience. With the savings, I just purchased an extra tire, so I have it as a spare instead of having the little doughnut.
