Best Summer Tyres

Longweekend · Jan 23rd, 2022, 19:19

As the title says what are the best summer tyres for D4 XC60 mainly road use would like fairly quiet and decent mileage, have winter tyres so not looking for all seasons...
Thanks

I don't know how well they'd suit an XC60, but Good Year Eagle F1 Asymmetric boots tick all your boxes and aren't especially expensive.

+1 for those.

I last used eagle F1 many many years ago and found the grip and road manners excellent however wear very poor.

I have found Michelin pilot sport (4 I think I was on) good (perhaps not quite a grippy I don’t know) but much much longer lasting.

I run across Climates now which you will not be interested in.

Incidentally as outstanding as the cross climates are you really can’t beat summer and winter separate tyres

Wears not too bad for me, I like them because they seem to transmit less noise and feel just a bit 'softer'.

The F1 Asymmetric is a different tyre to the F1 anyway.

Very well spotted yes! I was not on asymmetric at the time!
