What are the best tyres for overall driving conditions with good wet grip and low road noise for a Volvo V70?
Our V70 has 215x55ZR16 tyres that are getting short on tread. What are the best replacement tyres? I am looking for good 4 season performance (accepting that they will be a compromise compared with specialist summer or winter tyres) with low noise levels as this can be intrusive with the Pirelli P6000 tyres it was originally sold with (2001).

If you want all season tyres then Vredestein Qautracs or Bridgestone A001s. But a very nice standard tyre this size is the Toyo J48.
