Getting near the time these need changing

Have Pirelli P6000 on them at moment (17in rims)

What options do i have to improve these and get good mileage

Literally anything is better than a P6000

Ours came with Pirelli upfront and Conti in the rear. Pirelli seemed to wear quickly and have just been swapped from Michelin Primacy 4 - so too early to tell .
Ive always chosen Michelin on my own vehicles due to their durability etc - and earlier this year had some fitted to the bosses A4. They gave really good grip but are about gone by 14k miles - may be partly the bosses driving.

my V70 came with p6000's on, lasted easily 30k +, never had any problems with them. I love Michelin energy savers on other cars I have, also conti's, I would never buy budget, shop around .....if your anywhere near the New Forest Haydons tyres will will give prices...

Goodyear Efficientgrip worked well on my ex's 2013 D5.

Recently fitted a set of Nokian Weatherproofs on my 2.0t V70.
Admittedly I went up a size to 235/45 17, but they are considerably more comfortable than the previous Hankooks.
They also feel much more sure footed in the wet and muddy lanes I use.

I’ve had a variety of V70s and tried a few different types of rubber. FWIW..

Premium choice - Goodyear Eagle F1s were superb. Great road holding wet and dry, quiet, and I can’t recall the mileage but they lasted well.

Mid range - Avon ZV7s were decent. Quiet, handling seemed good but I didn’t really push on with them. Down side was on the front they were cooked in about 20k.

Currently running on Conti Premium Contact 6.. they’re very good. Notably they dispurse standing water really well. Can’t comment on wear as only 3 month in.
