    Need to replace all four corners on wife's Volvo. Anyone have any suggestions/recommendations?

    Car came new with Pirelli P7s, I have replaced them a couple of times over with Conti Sport Contacts. But am open to anything mid range and upwards.

    Wife commutes the length of the M50 out and back each day so ideally need something that doesn't wear too heavily.

    Have a look at this group test on tyrereviews.co.uk. I got the Goodyears a while ago, they are a decent tyre. The Michelins come out as the best for wear, but they are generally more expensive so not much difference in VFM.

    I've always managed to get Hankook Ventus Primes, Bridgestone Turzana, or Pirelli P7 (I think), for around 85-90 per corner.

    I've seen those Dunlops mentioned in a few lists alright, might price them up locally.

    Hankook Kinergy. I get them in Millbrook Motors in Oldcastle in Meath. http://www.millbrookmotors.ie/

    Cheap for tyres but they will tell you a bunch of stuff is wrong with your car when there isn't. That's why I only get tyres there.

    Quick update.

    I got four Dunlop Sport Bluresponse on the car this afternoon.
    Local guy ordered them in for me and fitted etc. for €85 a corner all in which I was happy with.

    So hopefully all the good reviews are correct.
