Default V60 20inch tyres

I am struggling to find Pirelli 245 35 r20 PNCS VOLVO tyres which are the original fitted tyres to my 2019 V60.
The PNCS is the accoustic foam inside the tyre to reduce road noise.

I can get Michelin Pilots and also the Michelin accoustic equivalent for a bit more cost - has anyone got any thoughts on swapping from the original tyres - any issues with road noise , etc.?

I'm still awaiting my S60 Polestar but hoping it doesn't come with Pirelli's on the 20", If I we're you i'd move to the Michelin they're a much better tyre in all aspects what you MAY sacrifice in noise you'll gain in grip.

I know its a subjective topic but that's my two pence worth

I've always managed to get my V90 20" Pirelli PNCS tyres from Black Circles at prices that my local tyre dealer couldn't match or better and they were always in stock, delivered and fitted within 3 days.

I had pilot sports on my last motor - Pirelli p zero on the current car. Honestly unless you’re planning to hit a track I’ve found the difference to be negligible. I find the Pirelli’s to be a good tyre so I wouldn’t worry about it mate 👍
