Tires MICHELIN or NANKANG

Recommend Michelin defenders over pilot sport. Got them on my ‘16 XC90 and never looked back

Quiet, comfy, grippy enough for the 90

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

I got Pilot Sport 4S on my V60 and it feels like a new car with 100k.

The Michelin ones are really nice.

I saw you had some random no-name tire on the fronts and Pilot Sport 4S tires out back. While drag radials would help absolutely, you should see a significant increase by just swapping the 4S tires to your front drive wheels if you have a square set up (same sized front and back).

Ain't cheap but amazing I put my hat in the ring for the Michelin Crossclimate 2

the PS4S’ have been the best performance street tire I’ve used, im on my second set.

I've had good luck with Michelin tires dating back to the ones on my mom's Golf when I was in high school. They tend to be a little more expensive than other brands but they're a sure thing.

The Nankang NS20 wears well on track and has oK grip, but in the past I've found it to have a somewhat tricky balance around the limit. GReat for learning how to drive, but again it's not the best tyre in the wet so on the road it might not be ideal.

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