Hello all, I just sub-let an S60R with the factory tires. They need replacing. I've heard lots of complaints about the factory tires because they don't last long. They are also pricey. What other options are there?
Check Yokohama. My experience with Pirellis is that they are noisy and harsh riding.
that they are noisy and
I don't know about any 18 inch, but those with a low aspect ratio will exhibit those traits, sure. Said another way most of us would expect a
40 series tire be harder rid> ins't any 18" on a small sedan going to beis that they are noisy and
I really like the Michelin Sport A/S. They're all season and work really well in the rain and pretty good in snow.
A lot quieter and not at all harsh when using the "comfort" setting for your suspension.

I've never tried Michelins but I replaced the original soft Pirellis on my '95 850T with all season Bridgestone Potenzas, which got very good reviews for wet-road handling. They weren't cheap (nothing is cheap in Finland except Baltic herring) but they have lasted much longer than the originals.
cheers,
