Tires Pirelli or YOKOHAMA
If you opt for replacement I run yokohama Geolander A/T G015’s on my 2014 xc70. They are wonderful tires for mixed use driving. I live in a dirt road but also have a long highway commute and the Yokohamas have been the best tire I’ve found for both surfaces.
I bought Yokohama yk gtx from Discoumt tire. I have about 5k on them and they’ve been excellent so far.
I would recommend Firestone Destinations or Yokohama Geolandars. I’ve seen them go pretty well.
I found with my PHEV's the Volt and ELR that messing with the air pressure makes a huge difference. The Volt ate tires until I went up to 42 psi cold( rec is 38 ). Then they wore smoothly across and got better mpg. The ELR, the stock tires were total crap. I put pirelli cinturato c7 tires on it and their sweet spot was 40 psi, the ELR is heavier. They were also dead silent compared to the massive droning the stock tires had.
And I will tell you that, for my money, Yokohama are great tires.
Pirelli Sotto Zeros on 18s stock 245-40-18. Feel decent on corners and still sporty for me but gives me piece of mind for snow driving in winter
I bought STi wheels and used Pirelli Winter Sotto3 winter tires
I got nail through the sidewall of the essentially brand new Pirelli's on my '23 RWD- just shy of $500 to replace just the one tire
Im sorry but these tires are a joke. Soft medium/medium soft should never be a strategy.
My P Zeros were trash, 10-12k miles and they were down to 3/32 already on all 4. I cant be convinced to go back to them, currently running Michelin PS4s so much better.
