Best Tires for Volvo XC60

I run Blizzaks all winter on 18" wheels. I ended up with those because when I bought the vehicle in Nov 2015 I asked for snow tires, because Alaska. Well, the dealer didn't have any in 20", in fact the whole town was sold out of them. The dealer made us a deal with new wheels and snow tires in 18". It has been handy, my husband swaps them in the driveway and I'm only on my second set of Blizzaks.

I bought the Yokohama BlueEarth winter tires. They worked great. They also meet the traction requirements for things like mountain passes. I didn't notice any change in gas mileage. During COVID we weren't driving much so I just left them on all year and didn't have any issues.

The dealer put Michelin CC2s on our XC60 before we picked it up and I concur with everyone saying they are excellent in the snow.

I have the r5s on my xc60, best winter tires I’ve ever had.

Another vote for the Michelin. Have them on our XC60, and felt like a new car when they went on.

I bought a set of continental LX25s and they've been great so far.

I have had this same problem with these tires on my XC60. I had the tires warrantied through Pirelli the first time and they replaced all four with new tires, same model. Not less than a year later I started having the same issues.

I forget what there were called, but I had Pirelli snow tires on my previous XC60 and absolutely hated them. Very.. wishy-washy unstable feeling. I replaced them with Blizzaks and will never own another snow tire. The Pirelli was just not as quality as I wanted it to be. Poor life, poor grip, poor dry pavement feel and LOUD.

Initially I thought it was the OE Pirelli. I replaced them with Michelins and had the same terrible road noise and handling.
