Tires YOKOHAMA or FEDERAL
Yokohama the best for XC90. Michelin great as always but Yoko wears well, soft, quiet, and comfortable. Grips well too.
I’ve had these tires for almost 7 years in FL on my Toyota Camry. I’m really only considering new tires because I moved to the cold. They’ve made it to about 60k miles in those 7 years and even drove me across the country.
I've gone through at least 5 sets of 651's over the past 4-5 years of daily driving and autox (07 scion tC & now a 17 BRZ). as a budget tire, really can't complain for learning without breaking the bank.
V730s are underrated imo. Very good tire for the money.
I've had the Fleva's for a couple months now and I love them. Great grip, low noise, and good compliance.
I really like the federal command tires, they were an amazing price (around 60$ for 2). They also have a very pronounced grind protection lip on the side wall. On a super hot supper day they have amazing grip and wonderful feedback.
My only complaint is because they are a slick tire, you get amazing rolling, but the second there is a dusting of sand on a hard surface you can slip out pretty easy.
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.
Federal 595RS-PRO 275 width - Lower grip levels than RE71 or similar, but they wear like rocks. I am on heat cycle 15 and they have no significant wear. Time deltas for me on a short, technical track are ~1.5-2 secs slower than my other tires, however.
BEWARE: Failed Yokohama Stock Tire. Ive seen other posts about similar blowouts from primes but didn't pay too much attention since I planned on eventually switching wheels anyways. but this just happened driving 70 on the freeway. They are the stock Yokohama's that came with my 22 Prime.
