Flipwill,

Go with the Bridgestone Potenza RE950, Yokohama Avid H4, or Pirelli P6000 Sport
Velocites.

When the Michelin MXV4 worn out on my 1998 Volvo S70 in early 2000, I replaced them with a set of Pirelli P6000 Sport Velocites. They were awesome in wet & dry conditions, but SUCKS on snow. But since you have winter tires, that isn't
a concern for you. Then in late-2002, my Pirelli worn-out and I went with the new Bridgestone Potenza RE950. First, the Bridgestone looks much nicer than the Pirelli. They also performed much better in wet, dry, and on snow. They
are slightly more quieter than the Pirelli, which were 200% quieter than the Michelin MXV4.

My friend's Mom has a Volvo V70 and she runs a set of Yokohama Avid H4 on her Volvo wagon. She has no complains, but does admit that on dry conditions, the
Potenza RE950 does grip better than her Avid H4.

On the downside, beware that the Bridgestone Potenza RE950 does wear out faster
than the Yokohama Avid H4, but that is not a factor in my tire buying decision,
as I am more concerned about the handling rating, traction rating, temperature rating, wet traction, and dry traction ( according to the rating done by Tire
Rack ) due to my driving style ( fast & aggressive ).

Feel free to check out my pics of my Bridgestone Potenza RE950 on my personal website:
