I bought a 2006 V70 2.5T SE manual a couple of days back. Lovely car but I need to get a set of new tyres.

Are there any brands/specific tyres that suit the V70 particularly well?

I’ve seen a number of threads on the best tyres for V70s from many years back, but nothing really in the last five years, so I imagine there are much better options than the tyres in those threads...

I’m after decent comfort and relatively low noise levels, with reasonably precise steering and good dry and wet grip. Current shortlist is:
Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2
Michelin Primacy 4
Michelin Pilot Sport 4
Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 5

Are any of these particularly Volvo-friendly/is there anything better I’m missing?

Thanks.
