i have been waiting to pull the trigger on tires for my Volvo for some time now. This morning i checked and got a little cut on my finger from a tire cord, so i decided it was probably time. the car requires a 95 load rating with a Z speed rating. The factory tires were a Pirelli P-Zero of some type which apparently weren't that great according to other owners i have spoken to. The car currently has Capitol Negotiators, which have amazingly lasted over 20k miles of my abuse, but other than that have left a lot to be desired. I narrowed my choice down to BFGoodrich G-Force KDW NT, or Michelin PS2. they both were a 220 tread ware, and a 95Y load index/speed rating. I ended up getting the PS2's delivered to my work and will have them mounted and balanced tomorrow.
btw i have to do 4 tires at a time due to the Haldex AWD system. I will try to have a tire shop that has the Hunter road force balancer take care of the balancing. i have a box of bolt in steel valve stems at home and will have them use those instead of the el-cheapo chrome ones that are on there now.
