Volvo 2005 S60 R Tyres

These tyres are excellent, I love the asthetics of the tread design and the way it cuts through the wet. I had Pirelli P Zero's before and the side wall was weak and offered hardly any rim protection.

This is where the F1 leads, the Side wall is stronger and Rim protection is good. The grip is fantastic in the dry and is also great in the wet however its more noticable based on the wider the tyre the better.

Unfortunately the V tread pattern tyre has been discontinued so no more I am sad to say, my next tyre will be the F1 assym, which from what I have heard should be good. I hope Goodyear refine the V tread pattern style and bring the design back as it is a good looking tyre. I did notice that it was fotted to the Knight Rider Car KITT, which was shown in a american episode in February. Was this advertising?

Look forward to Goodyears further developments.

Happy Motoring everybody

I am just about to fit my 6th set of Falken FK-452s. I had three set on my Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 and am just about to fit a 3rd set to my Volvo S60 R. Given that both cars have over 300bhp and 4WD, I think the Falkens give exceptional life - I've never had less than 20,000 miles from a set and the best set lasted 24,300 miles. Wet weather grip is not compromised by such longevity and the directional nature of the tread ensures that standing water is dispersed quickly, with no aquaplaning. I would recommend these tyres highly.
