Tyres - XC90...

[Sideways Tim]

The family wagon needs new tyres all round (255/50R19). Anyone have any recommendations? I'm fancying the Toyo Proxes ST - is there anything better for the cash, are they terrible widow makers or have you any experience of owt else worth looking at?

Thanks folks.

I use Vredestein Wintrac 4 xtreme all year on my CX90 and they have a good wear rate.
Brilliant in the wether we have at the moment.

I don't think the Toyo's are that great in the wet (on a X5)

What about Nokian WR G2's (if they do your size....)

As it happens a bit of research threw up the Vredestein Wintrac 4's a better tyres. Four on yesterday and I have to say I'm mighty impressed so far.

Cheers for the advise.
