need new tires
My 98 s70 t5 needs new shoes. Right now I have 205 55 16 s on her. Anyone have any recomendations for tires? I like something grippy and fairly quiet, but will wear forever. I started looking at Continental Conti Extreme Contacts but read about how they need replacement aprox 20,000 miles. Not good. What do you folks have?

You might as well look for a good tasting non-alcoholic beer!
I love Conti's but they are all soft.
I believe Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires would fit your criteria - I am running them on 3 different cars right now. My two Volvos seem to be a great match for them -but I put some on my son's Infiniti and they ride like rocks, differently tuned suspensions I guess as the car was very smooth with Conti's and Toyo's.

Grippy tires are because of softer rubber. Softer rubber does not last longer than anything. Snow tires in Colorado are real soft and in one summer you will wear them off to the cord. I will be putting Goodyear Eagle GT V tires on and they are 4 seasons high grip, quiet, and 50K mile tires,

OK, I got my Continentals from Tire Rack and paid less than I would have at Walmart even with my discount there. They were shipped to my mechanic and he put them on three days ago and I couldn't be happier. Quiet and smooth ride and good grip. Now if they last I'll be real happy. Thanks for all the advice.

I used to have the Goodyear Triple Tread Assurances on and was very happy with the all-season performance. Once those wore out after 50k, I am now trying the Hankook Optimo H727s... They are not as great as the Goodyears, but they were also half the price. I have 195/65R15s on my 99 S70 AWD.
