Default tires

I am looking into some new tires. Anyone want to share experiences or recomendations. I have Yokahamas right now . The other v70 has Toyo's and they blow.

On my c70 I use Continental Contis. A temperature, A traction, and speed rated. Original equipment on BMW although a different tread design.

P.s. Upon purchasing my Volvo, I removed the "factory" tyres and replaced them with the Contis.

When I was at the Dealer we used the Michellins which I LOVED (I have a set for the Stang and love them).
Also we used KUHMO'S which compaired to the Michellins very good and were about half the price.

I'm looking for new tires at the moment as well. I have a 98 v70 base with the stock wheel with the "antlia" wheels. Stock tire size 195 60 15, can I put on 205 60 15? Anyone tried that? got a pic?
