I have found Michelins to be excellent tires. They wear extremely well (logged 100k miles on my last set and there was still a fair and even amount of tread remaining on all four), they stick to the road like glue and they are quiet, which is definitely a consideration if you find yourself on the highway for several hours out of the week.

You are really giving this guy a hard time about his suspension setup, Kyle, and while I don't want to be rude - do you really have enough experience with these cars to second guess the way that his suspension is configured? If I recall, you have been driving "vintage Volvos" for less than a year now (6 mos?). I have owned them on and off for the better part of fifteen years, and still don't know squat about the suspensions. Just some food for thought... :-)
