Description: At 235/60R16, these are a super-wide tires that fit nicely on my OEM XC70 2004 rims. Tires are super quiet on the highway, and offer excellent cornering capabilities, especially for Freeway/Highway off-ramps. I often tow with my XC70 - the braking power of these tires are amazing, especially in wet weather. For acceleration traction on dry/wet pavement, miles ahead of the OEM Pirelli Scorpions. If you live in warm locations that never see snow, I would highly recommend these tires as OEM replacements. Thread wear for these performance SUV tires is lower than expecting, meaning I can get 20-30'000 miles / 50'000km minimum before replacing. Since I have winter tires, I can expect 4 or 5 years use. They are competitively priced, around $80 each - not bad considering the performance upgrade you receive once they are on both stability and braking in both wet and dry weather. Hydroplaning resistance is phenomenal – during a recent Thunderstorm, a brand new BMW X3 hydroplaned behind me. I would definitely purchase these tires again.
