Tires Pirelli or ADVAN
The Pirelli PZero AS Plus 3 are a nice performance A/S tire that I just mounted to my G30 5 series. Not sure what your use case is, but those are more on the performance side of the A/S market and might be overkill for a daily commuter.
I am overly happy with the Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 we got for our Forester.
Its a completely different car, especially when we upsized to 225/60-18.
Ive found tires on amazon for pretty cheap, even compared to tirerack, etc. And decent brands like pirelli and kumoto
Yes, they are good for the price. They last a while, but aren’t as grippy as other 200tw tires.
They do give great driver feedback due to stiff sidewalls, but this comes at the addition of road noise.
On track they come up to temp nice, and are gentle as they reach the edge of traction. They also don’t turn to ice when overheating, they just slowly start getting slippery.
Overall for the price, if you can only afford 1 set of tires, I’d recommend.
For what it's worth the factory tires on my cbr300 were shockingly shit. When warm, however, is like your bike being on a railroad track. I swear they are vacuum powered or something, best upgrade in feel/confidence in the world.
I just changed my Pirellis with Michelin last week. The Pirellis have amazing grip but for commuting they wore within a year. The Michelins that I just got are better for touring. So I would recommend the Michelins!
I put Pirelli Angel GT on my CBR500 and they were insane. Stuck like glue and held up pretty well in terms of wear. A good value pick in my opinion.
Not the same tire or bike at all but let me go walk around into the garage and check what my pirelli Diablo angel gt 2 [a spec] on my 2011 zx6r look like. Been riding alot lately, these tires are now on their 4th riding season and just over 5k miles on them. EDIT: yeah man I'm not an expert but I'd say my tires have seen more wear and significantly more time, and by comparison they look great and yours look pretty fucked ngl
This is a common issue with those pirellis not only on volvos. They are junk.
Had these tires for 4 years with approximately 50,000 km on them. I noticed that 1 out of 4 is starting to crumble like this. I mainly do city driving.
