Tires Pirelli or OEM Porsche
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
Pirelli WeatherActive
Today I will get Pirelli runflat because sounds like it has better thread wear than continental .
Theoretically, the Michelin will last longer and you can use tread ware warranty. My Pirelli lasted 26,000 si hoping to get more out of the Michelin.
I have a 22 and the pirellis were awesome at first but definitely did not last. There’s a reason they have no manufacturer warranty. They are performance tires. Rubber is soft and wears faster.
I wouldn’t own take pirelli scorpions if someone paid me … they were horrible for me , in 2 inches of snow absolutely horrible
This summer, I swapped out my Pirelli's at around 21k on a 2021 EX. I was starting to hydroplane with minimal water on the road. Although costly, I'm glad I did. The new ones make the ride so much better.
I dumped the stock Pirelli’s as they were basically falling apart. Huge chunks torn out of the curb bump the tires had. Switched to Continental and traction/handling is so much better (‘23 GT1)
