Jon literally has nothing else to do than troll the internet. Be proud sir. I often wonder if you even own a Volvo anymore and instead just sit around here starting pissing matches with every single passerby.

Alden, that meme... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I own 2 soon to be 3 Volvos. And I have plenty of other things to do. I started my day around 5am going on a medical call. Came home, hung out with my fiance and daughter for a while, they left for town. I went and demolished a bathroom and started rebuilding a wall and pocket door. Then I went and spent 5 hours teaching a fire class. In between all of that, I trolled your ass, while getting paid.

Anyone running Michelin primacy mxm4 or have any idea how they ride/grip?

Front tires are running low and figured these are brand new and free.

Better than Cooper rs3-a?

Front tires are running low - time for new wheels and tires :lol: :lol:

We have a set of those Michelin's on my mom's 05 Accord. I like them a lot - quiet, wearing well over time, comfy, deep treads do well in rain but not much grip/straight-line traction on dry roads and they're useless in the snow :lol: not that snow performance matters to you at all.

Those came standard on P80 Volvos from the factory - at least in 1998 they did. They're decent road tires. Andy covered the basics. Had a set on my first two 98's that were low enough mileage to still have the factory tires. They're great for comfort but definitely not performance.

I'm debating taking the s70 down the track at test in tune for a pre and post run of the old tune file vs the new tune file I got yesterday.

Front tires are not bald but they are probably around 50% now. rears still look brand new - only been on the car since November.

So its either swap rears to front or toss these on the fronts for tonight.

One thing holding me back is that high idle issue right now.

So I might just go to take photos of the two lkq bmws tonight.

Or better, don't order from FCP.

Rob, Michelins tend to dry rot before they wear out. Hard rubber, so OK grip and long life. If they're free, rock 'em, you won't have to worry about tires for a couple of years. They're quiet, solid tires.
