07 V70 2.5 Replacement Tires

Hi All,
My ‘07 V70 2.4 had Michelin Premier A/S from new, but Premier is discontinued. Any suggestions for replacement All Season tires? Many thanks!

My 01 V70 had Michelin Primacy tires that wore great, but couldn't get them when they needed to be replaced. I reluctantly went with the Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires and have been really happy with them. They make the wagon steer easier and overall seem like a winner for the senior citizen crowd. This wagon has the wider Metis 16"er, so I got 215 55 16's.
We haven't had snow in SE Pa. for two years, so I have no clue how they are in the snow.

eBay has a deal going on free install through the beginning of July. Use the code ‘FREEINSTALL’ at checkout.

Around me the eBay install option places are Firestone and TiresPlus.

Just got myself a Yokohama Avid Ascent GT. I think it's the best bang for buck on amazon atm.

I use michelin defenders on 15 inch rims (205/60/15) if i recall correctly. They were about 200$ cheaper than the 16 inch versions and i had them from a previous car.

I heard some good things about continentals or bridgestones but have not personally used them.

This is fitted on my 08 s60 2.5t

Just put 2 Yokohama Avid's on my 2004 V70. $88 ea at walmart.com 205/55R16.
Installed this morning to replace a pair that had a bad wear pattern. Rolls down the road much smoother now.

I had a great experience with Vredestein Quatrac 5 on 05 XC70 and Quatrac Pro on 16 XC60 (much better than stock Michelin's). XC70 has got Vredestein Pinza AT recently, very happy with them. Will be replacing factory installed Michelin LTX A/T2 with Vredestein Pinza AT on wife's Sequoia when time comes.
