Didn't find this through a site search...will they fit a MY 2005 XC 70? Bad idea?

Asking as I can get a set at a good price to replace worn out OE size if they won't cause a problem.

Thanks

They fit and look nice. But buying another set of Scorpions is a bad idea, IMHO. I ditched my stock Scorpions early on (within a few months) cuz of noise and poor snow traction.

Hi Gibbons!

Thanks, your expertise is appreciated. From threads I've read here I know you're very knowledgeable and a big Nokian fan. I just don't know if I can afford them right now.

I got some Yokohama C-Drives a few weeks ago. Road tyre only. 98 load rating, W speed rating. They are sensational and have changed the car completely ... for the better.

225/60R16 98W

I love them. Lot cheaper than the Scorpions but not expecting the longest life as they're performance tyres.

Is that a dedicated summer tire or an all-season tire?

Thanks.

I ditto this... Scorpions are not the best tires I've had.
