I bought STi wheels and used Pirelli Winter Sotto3 winter tires
Currently running Pirelli P7 AS3 Plus on my 19' S60 on XC90 18" Takeoffs, ride pretty quiet, good wettraction. Haven't had the chance to try them in snow yet since I got them in the spring, but they have about 20k on em now and still have plenty of tread left.
I moved up to Firestone destination LE3 because it is mostly a daily driver for me. If you want a good all season with excellent wet traction and long treadlife and you don't need snow tires, I recommend the LE3. Night and day difference. WV is quite rainy, so I always go for wet traction.
I'm on my third set of Pirelli Scorpion AT plus tires. IMO it's a wildly underrated tire. I put a lot of highway miles on my Forester, and while I haven't done any wild 4x4 stuff, they've never left me stranded.
I have Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus SL tires on my F150 right now. I haven't noticed much of a difference in ride quality, noise, or fuel economy. I towed a ~6k lb trailer about 1k miles round trip and they did great. I've had them out in downpours and a few inches of snow and they're much better than the old tires were.
I have the pirelli's on my truck, no snow here so can't speak to that but I've done everything from going up a mountain in them to driving across town in them, about 10k miles on them and they look the same as when I got the truck, on road is good and I've never been stuck off road in mud or sand so just my piece to add.
I have a friend who’s dad put the Pirelli’s on his Ram and he’s happy with them.
This is a bit of an old thread, but I use these on my 07 civic. The tires themselves are very capable (30k miles on them now, and I'm looking to replace them, so somewhat underwhelming tread life.) When I push the limits of traction, they are very predictable and feel confident, even in rainy conditions. I get lots of road noise, but that's almost certainly due to the car itself, not the tires.
I have these tires on a non-Volvo car. They are VERY soft, I experienced chunking of them within the first 1000 miles of driving on flat pavement and others with the same tire report the same.
This is a common issue with those pirellis not only on volvos. They are junk.
