Les meilleurs pneus pour la Volvo V60 D2

Longévité et économie de carburant irréelles. Roulé 37 000 milles sur les roues motrices et il leur reste encore 3,5 mm de bande de roulement. Ils sont assez chers à l'achat, mais cela rapporte à long terme avec l'amélioration des retours sur la vie et le mpg.

Les pneus sont assez bons, ils durent plus longtemps que les autres marques, mais la détérioration de la bande de roulement a tendance à apparaître après 50% du pneu utilisable.

Ceux-ci sont venus avec notre voiture V40 D2 2013 d'occasion, et nous les avons utilisés pendant la majeure partie des 18.000 miles. Surtout sur les autoroutes hollandaises avec des vitesses de 130 km / h max, et pas de virages animés, etc. Ils étaient ok, jusqu'à la marque de changement de pneu, donc la dégradation est très linéaire. Dans l'ensemble, c'était un pneu correct pour nous, pas de gros défauts, mais un peu bruyant et pas vraiment économique.

I bought a full set to replace a still (just) road legal set of Falken branded tyres that I inherited on a second hand four year old average mileage Volvo V60 1.6 D2. As luck would have it, the car had just received a 4 wheel alignment as part of warranty work, so I knew my four new tyres stood the best chance of even wear.

First impressions were positive overall, especially ride quality compared to the Falkens which were a bit 'crashy'. The Toyo's offered good grip in the dry (if a little soft on turn in) and decent enough in the wet on a mixture of roads and speeds. My only slight criticism was a 'grabby' feeling from the front end with the tyres keen to tramline a little, especially at lower speeds on urban roads, but other than this, I was very pleased for the money with excellent comfort when cruising on the motorway.

As mileage progressed the handling and ride stayed consistent, with no vibration or wheel wobble developing right up until they were replaced, so this shows the construction is very good. However my major criticism of these tyres would be the very high wear rate. Bearing in mind mine were fitted to a low power 115bhp 1.6 diesel (and they were used through the winter months) the fronts were pretty much done for in only 16K. The grabby nature had also worsened on the front, and was becoming a liability.

I fully realise many will hold the view 'you get what you pay for...' however the Proxes are a known brand, were not a price based purchase, and were only a little cheaper than equivalent Yokohama or Goodyear, so the savings were not huge, and in retrospect, any small incidental 'saving' made was lost with the high wear rate.

My summary of the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport would be a well constructed tyre with decent enough levels of grip and comfort in all conditions for the average motorist, however higher mileage drivers should look elsewhere.

Bought brand new Volvo V60, got it with summer Michelin Eco tyres and replaced with those witnter Continentals. The car sounds and handles much, much better. Those are really the best tyres ever.
