Volvo S80 T6 Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Falken ZE912 given 93% (225-50-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 spirited miles
Bought these tyres after much deliberation, mainly because I wanted tyres that were very quiet, in addition to performing well. 4000+ miles later and I am not disappointed with my choice. These tyres are fantastic. More so, when you consider the price in comparison to competitors.

They grip exceptionally well on wet and slippery roads. Dry grip is very good, but not as impressive as the grip on wet surfaces - unless you brake hard, in which case they cannot be faulted. Quiet as these tyres are, you still feel the road and get first-rate feedback. The result is a sporty feel to the handling, despite the size of the car.

Recently did a nearly 3000-mile round trip journey, mainly on motorways and winding country roads, in heavy rain and sunshine. Was pleasantly surprised by, and very pleased with the petrol consumption on these tyres. Still no sign of wear on them after the paces I've put them through so far, so I expect them to last for a good long while yet.

I would recommend these tyres to anyone.

The S001 replaced the PZero Rosso I had on my Volvo S80 T6. Originally the car came with P6000. Out of the three set, this is the best fit for a heavy car. Steering into a corner gives you lots of feedback early on. Tire treads still very new, but the handling compared to the Pirellis I had are way better. I will comeback in few months for an update on how they progress.

Writing about the Wanli S1063 given 89% (225-50-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
Completely freaked out when I discovered that these tyres were on the car, due to having read so many negative things about "budget" tyres.

I was in for a pleasant surprise and an amazing ride. The car handled superbly, gave admirable feedback and performed well on wet, slippery and dry conditions. Miles per gallon was well above average for this car. Best of all, the car was very quiet. No pesky road noise issues to spoil the daily journeys. It was necessary to keep an eye on the speedometer, as the ride was so smooth that it was easy to exceed the speed limit without noticing!

The price can't be beaten either.

All in all, a good set of tyres. I would recommend them to everyone.

Driving on mostly town for 76000 spirited miles
Repalced OEM tires with these ones at the recommendation of Pirelli. First 2 years was amaxing, then wear started taking a toll. Got a total of 30K out of them. The rest was driving with caution all times especially on wet roads. Nevertherelss, very exotic tires with and excellent and predictable response.
