Please help me pick new tires for a 2007 XC70

Post by hamish2 »

Hi,

I am the proud owner of a 35,000 miles 2007 XC70 that I purchased new.

I have noted that I need to think about new tires soon.

I am based in Southern California, mainly driving on the freeways around LA and I am not planning any trips in the snow, rain or off-road.

What tires would you recommend for my "non-XC" driving style - I would prefer a performance tire that may help with MPG, and will hopefully be quieter when driving along all the concrete freeways here in LA...

I currently have the Volvo 17" x 7" Oreander Alloy Wheels fitted with original factory Pirelli Scorpion STR 215/60/R17 Tires.

All the best,
Hamish

The Yokahama Avid series has been a great tire and long lasting for me.
