Tires Pirelli or Nokia

Get some Nokian tires, I am super happy with mine (piggfri) as it's a rear wheel drive, and we like to get sideways. But the grip is amazing, love these tires. Kost about 7 000kr for a complete set. And it is worth it.

I’m running the pirellis. Fantastic tire, they are a new all season tire and are pretty much the same as the contis. Pirellis has multiple different types of all seasons that are genuinely pretty bad but these ones are really good. Quiet, comfortable and can grip the road so very well. I was hesitant when I was buying them as I was looking at the contis since it’s been on the market much longer but I’m really happy I went with the pirellis. Either way you cannot go wrong.

For reference I’m running this on a built golf r pushing over 4xx hp and they are fantastic, they feel much better than the indy500’s I was running before and they feel identical to the dws cars I’ve been in.

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

If its one thing to NEVER be stingy on, is winter tires, especially in Norway. I've never even heard about these tier makers and I find it sus. Go for nokian hakkapeliitta, it's a brand driven and tested in nordic countries for decades. More pricy? Yes, definitely, quality is high and they know their stuff. But sure, buy some cheap made Chinese made tiers that will be worn out by the end of the year and probably serve you shit to nothing in terms of safety when its needed.

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.

Check finn if better tires are to expensive for you. I just bought a set of 2 year old Nokian studded for 2000kr. Just stay away from cheap tires all together and don't buy used tires older than 4 year old unless you know what you're getting.

I always buy the nokian winters. They never fail to impress me.

Actually enjoying the comfy sottozero 3s in traffic coming off my ecs02s but can definitely feel the wintertireyness and lack of traction and turn-in

J'ai toujours senti qu'il n'était aucunement performant sous la pluie et après seulement 16 000km, le 1er changement d'huile de mon Toyota Prime, les 2 pneus avant étaient fini à 4/32.

I just swapped Pirelli Scorpions that came on my Edge for Geolanders. The scorps only had 35k on them and were cupped with sidewall belts showing.
