We have a 2001 v70 t5 and in the summer we run Toyo Proxes 4, great performance in dry and wet. They get noisy when they wear down, but otherwise excellent performance and price isn't bad either.

Thanks everyone for all the posts and input.

I'm leaning toward the Michelin Pilot Exalto but I'm wondering if anyone here has the (Exalto) tires and how noisy are they?

The current tires (MXV4 Energy) are quiet, but poor on wet traction.

The Michelin's come on sale at Costco April 5th ($70 off) and the current tires on the vehicle are cracking due to age.

I hated the Michelins that came on my car. They, along with the Michelins on my sister's Escape, are some of the noisiest tires I have ever heard.

Check out some BF Goodrich tires if you're so inclined, they're one of the better tires I've tried out and have pretty good wet-weather traction. They no longer make the Traction T/A style, but the replacements are pretty good too.

Tirerack consumer survey is always fun to read:
