Volvo S90 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the BFGoodrich g Force COMP 2 AS Plus given 61% (255-40-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 38000 spirited miles
Coming from a continental Conti pro TX before these tires failed to keep the same levels of comfort/road noise and provide a little more performance at the same time. I will say they did handle very well with plenty of grip when new especially but now worn down they are struggling to keep those same levels of traction. I probably have about 3-4K miles left on them and I fear thats being very generous, they wore down very uneven due to just how wide the shoulder section of the tread is. the tires still have plenty of tread left in the center but on each side they are almost bald, not really happy about that. I am very unhappy about the tread life. This tire also gets your car extremely dirt very easily due to the large shoulders and sipes on each tire which kick up rocks and almost anything it runs over. overall id say it deserves a 6.5/10.

If you drive a car of which NVH won’t be much affected by the tires these Contis are are very precise and definitely give a sporty feel. But if you are concearned about NVH then be warned that these tires produce excesssive amounts of noise and are quite harsh rising. Not a tire to buy for comfort. Changed them for Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmteric 6’s and the difference is night and day.

Writing about the Avon ZZ5 given 99% (255-35-20-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
Each time I buy a car invariably it is fitted with Pirelli / Bridgestone tires and I've learnt to change to Avon's when it's time to change tires. Latest car came with Pirelli P Zero, a good tire especially in the dry, but with 20 inch wheels they were too hard and a noisy. Tendency to find every little road imperfection and I guessed the car would feel better on Avons and it does, a little reduced noise and a significant improved ride quality. I don't know if it's because they are made in UK but Avon's suit British climate and roads, they seem to be more flexible in cold wet weather than many brands which gives you very good assurance and grip. They hold on well in wet or dry, never had a problem with wheelspin at junctions on wet roads where you need to pull out quickly. Overall I cannot fault the tires and of course they are significantly less expensive than other brands. Wear not fully tested yet on these ZZ5s hence lower score, but I know from previous Avon's wear isn't normally an issue.

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 3 given 76% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 spirited miles
Had these tires for 6k miles. Very competent tires in dry and wet conditions. I would find them better than the flagship Hankook sports tires I had on the E class.

However, I don't know if it is the car or the tires. Comfort and ride is not great and the tires feel very differently depending on the PSI.
