    Default Neeed new tires for my 04 xc70

    I need to replace tires on my '04 xc70. I have 98,000 on her now and I live in Maryland not too much snow to deal with. I am looking for an all-season tire that is quiet. Have my eye on Bridgestone Ecopia EP422. Does anyone have the Ecopia's? Any recommendations?

    Look on tirerack.com. They have customer reviews on tons of tires, including the one you are looking at. Look for tires by brand. It will be more efficient than waiting for a response on here, plus you'll get a larger sample size.

    I bought Michelin Latitude HP Tour for my newly acquired '04. I am loving them so far, and they performed well even in 7" of snow.
    Michelins are expensive, but over the years I have learned that they are worth it.

    Hard to go wrong with Michelin or Bridgestone tires. I tried Conti's DWS (?) but they flat spot every night and I won't buy them again (excellent traction however).

    I thought our cars required a speed rating of H or V? I have H rated tires on both Volvos. I would think the thinner sidewall of the T rated tire would be bad for our heavy XCs.
