Tires Pirelli or KENDA

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

Today I will get Pirelli runflat because sounds like it has better thread wear than continental .

Kenda K-RAD are super grippy!

Perfect all around tires for this kind of bike.

If you're okay losing by a big margin but are focused on self-improvement, try running Kenda Vezda KR20a's (make sure it's the 200tw version). They are dirt cheap and stupid durable.

Pirelli tires are not perfect. But at least gives better and consistent feeling on the front according to the riders. But their compounds tend to wear more compared to michelin.

For example, my mercedes came with the worst runftlat tires from Pirelli. Those run flats felt like shit after 10k miles. Unusable and felt dangerous at 14k. Replaced at 15k when costco had proper non runflat tires from Michelin.

I wouldn’t own take pirelli scorpions if someone paid me … they were horrible for me ,  in 2 inches of snow absolutely horrible
