Default XC70

So, my Dodge Dakota 4x4 got stolen, for the 3rd time. This time it was a total loss so I got myself a '02 Volvo XC70. I use my vehicle for my commute and to transport myself and buddies around for kayaking and canoeing, sometimes on non-maintained county roads.

It just had it's 120K service by the dealer. Base charge $450!!!? Total amount $670. No problem, I knew Volvo dealers screw their customers and have no intentions of going anywhere near those guys again, that's all the money they will get out of me. $50 for spark plugs! You have to laugh because hell, you've just been had. But anyway, the car checked out okay, I thought it was, but I guess I didn't trust the dealer I bought it from, too bad, my loss. Anyway, for the rest of it's life it will be mine. My first project - it has Goodyear Assurance tires on it which seem to have flat spotted through sitting in the dealer's yard for 9 months, I'm looking to replace them with Yokohama AT/S tires, give me your feedback you AT riders! Bridgestone H/Ts seems to be a good alternative. What aggressive ALL TERRAIN tires did you put on your XC70?

Welcome. You may want to post the tire question in the tires and wheels section. Might get more answers there. www.tirerack.comalso has ratings of tires.
