2006 S60 2.5T. Looking for comfort and fuel efficiency over perfromance. Thanks!

 

My local indy shop recommends Michelin tires over the stock Pirelli tires. They say they are quieter and last longer. I only need summer tires, so I am using the Hankook Ventus V12 tire. They are quieter and a bit softer than the Pirellis. I haven't has had any problems with them and they don't seem to be wearing quickly (Around 4000mi on them so far).

 

Ive had good luck with Yokohama tires. There was a reviewe on tire rack from an engineer guy that stated that they have a very low rolling resistance.

 

I recently put Ryken Raptor's on two of my cars. They are made by Michelin. So far so good, but I haven't had them on long enough to see how they last.

 

Just put a set of Firestone Affinity touring tires on my 2002 S60 2.4t since they had a buy 3 get 4th tire free. Put about 1000 miles on them in 3 weeks and love them. Quiet, smooth, and great fuel economy. Highway mileage has gone from 28 mpg to 32 mpg.

 

Thanks for all the replies! I ended up going with Kumho Ecowing KH30's. They handle the raod WAYYYY beter than the Michelin MXV4 Energy Plus's that were on it and at $120 it was a good price. They also claim better mpg. i will be the judge of that after a few months. Plus I've owned Kumhos before and have been happy with them.

I was going to say Kuhmo's. I have them on my Volvo now and I really like them. They are about the best tire you can get, in my opinion, without dropping 200 bucks or more on a tire.

 

Update. I have about 5000 miles on these tires. I'm happy overall but I have seen absolutely NO better mpg's like they claim for what it's worth.
