Tires Pirelli or IRONMAN

Tire store employees say Conti is best overall. I have the Pirellis and hard to imagine a quiter, smoother, UHP all season.

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

If you drive conservatively, they might last. If you drive a performance/sports car and you like to drive like you have a pulse, then they won’t last very long, you’ll want more than they can provide, and they love to squeal like a pig.

That Pirelli P4 is one of the longest lasting but hardest rubber they make. So not good traction but great for cranking lots of summer miles.

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)

They are ass, also already replaced 2 of them because they got bubbles on the side.

Had to replace them on my 22 K5 as well because they had already gone bald in places by the time of my first inspection

PIRELLI TIRES ARE THE WORST TIRES I EVER PURCHASED. I GIT 10,OOO MILES ON Them ALMOST BALD!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT LUKE I DO
