Hello Everyone

Just bought a 2001 V70 T5 with 17 inch wheels. Tires need replacing.
Anybody have any recommendations? Any opinions on 16" vs 17" on this car.
Not looking to race, looking for a smooth quiet ride with good performance in wet and dry(have snows for the winter).

Thanks for your responses in advance.

Everyone has a different requirement for tires. Your best bet is to go to tirerack.com and check them all. If you follow the threads for one of the tires, you will come across a survey results page. This lists tires by rank and how well they drive in rain/snow/ how quiet, etc. Very nice list, I only wish they would not have buried it on the middle of some obscure page.
