Hello.
It is that time again when I need to look at All Season Tires for our 2002 Volvo XC70.

I am a big fan of the Michelin Defender Tires, but I just thought I would ask here if anyone has any input.
We want the longest lasting and if possible most quiet/comfortable tire.

Thanks.
Stephen

I have them on my 98 v70. Not too many miles yet. They seem surefooted and good handling but I don't think I would call them the quietest or most comfortable.

Hello Stephen and Chrafael!

I use Michelin Defender for my V70 as well. Great if you go on to dirt roads now and then. Many miles on mine, you can maybe as Chrafael said get more quiet tyres but if you want comfort and great performance they are great. Did some research before buying mine and bought from this page;

Please reply with what you bought in the end and your review
