Greetings. Just wondering. What speed rating are you rolling with on your S70 ? V rating is recommended for my 2000 T5. H,W is a option Just asking.

My car has v rated on it now though I prefer w rated. You get a better tire with w rating as the tire is made to handle really high speed and must be perfect. 170 mph if I remember correctly and v is good for 150 mph. You do have to increase tire pressure up to 5 psi to drive that fast sustained. I have run both speed tires over the years, I would not run below the v rating if you run that car fast.
