Both our 9-5 SWs run on the tires you describe Posted by CrNiFe [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Tire recommendations for wife's wagon, Carlo Pietrosanti, Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:46:32 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
not fancy, just fine for us, with a set of P215/55 R16 Ovations by National Tire.
I like them a lot more than the OEM Pirellis P5. and the price point was good too. Very good snow traction over most of their life. Excellent wet traction.
Got 43000 km on my first set on the MY99, but I hadn't rotated them enough; typically camber and toe adjustments on a wagon feathered the inside edges. I cope now by rotating every 5 to 8000 km. Second set doing really well, at 35000km.
On the MY05 SW, have about 15000 km on my first set after the OEMs. Made a big difference last winter.
So that's three sets of them, all good. They are private brand made by Yokohama in Virginia I think. I used to work in the tire business as part of Dupont - private brands are absolutely fine.
