Tires Hankook or Pirelli
For 7k you should be able to find pretty good tyres for your Volvo. I looked around a bit this year and found last years NAF test winner for under 10k for a bigger dimension for my car, including mounting on rims. Look for the ones from NAF tyre test just under the winner, like the Pirellis that scored okay but not great are within your price range, at least here in Norway, and way safer than these unknown China tyres.
I run the Pirelli on my B9.5 S4 and no complains so far, heading into first full winter together so I'll see how it goes.
I like Pirelli ice zero fr, they have the best grip, Bridgestone also fine
The Toyo GSI and Hankook I-Pike are both very good performers at better prices. The cheap Chinese tires might be ok for the first season or so, but they fall off very quickly as they wear.
Pirelli WeatherActive
Today I will get Pirelli runflat because sounds like it has better thread wear than continental .
I’m on my second M3. The first came with Michelin the latest on Hankook. The Hankooks are I think slightly quieter but if you enjoy driving definitely go for the Michelin. The Hankooks have very soft sidewalls which gives a slightly soft squishy feel to the steering and much poorer turn in than the Michelin.
I have pirellis on a range rover sport. Got 30,000 miles out of them. Expensive tire. Wondering if different brand will do the trick
2 Tires have bulges and a 3rd has a gash! May as well replace them all 4 NOT with Pirellis. These tires are too fragile for my driving!
I'm having the same issue! 2 BUBBLES in my Pirelli's tires.. and a 3rd one has a gash.. The issue I think is that the tire is so shallow! the rims are also damaged from bumping curbs!
