Tires Pirelli or MRF
I’m running the pirellis. Fantastic tire, they are a new all season tire and are pretty much the same as the contis. Pirellis has multiple different types of all seasons that are genuinely pretty bad but these ones are really good. Quiet, comfortable and can grip the road so very well. I was hesitant when I was buying them as I was looking at the contis since it’s been on the market much longer but I’m really happy I went with the pirellis. Either way you cannot go wrong.
For reference I’m running this on a built golf r pushing over 4xx hp and they are fantastic, they feel much better than the indy500’s I was running before and they feel identical to the dws cars I’ve been in.
Tire store employees say Conti is best overall. I have the Pirellis and hard to imagine a quiter, smoother, UHP all season.
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
Switched them over to Pirelli AS3 and now I understand! What I gained in grip I gave up in harshness.
Pirelli makes great sport tyres, but they wear out unbelievably fast.
I am all done with pirelli and will be buying a completely different set of tires. Currently 3/4 of the tires on my car right now have bubbles or bulges on the sidewall. Most expensive trash tires I've ever had.
Been using these stock tires for 34k KMs, mostly highway runs, this is my 3rd puncture on these, I never had a single issue on my Amaze tires for 40k KMs, I'm no longer thinking of using it to its fullest and changing it, just want to get a better one ASAP.
My only experience with Pirellis was a set of P6 All Seasons that I put on my old Acura TL fifteen years ago. It transformed my ostensibly “luxury car” into one that rode like a cement truck.
