I live by Goodrich HR4 205 60 15. They'll fit just fine and are just awesome. Don't spring for the VR's, they're not worth the extra cash for this type of car.

I run Michelin MXV4's on my 87 745 Turbo and my 97 960 has Bridgestone Potenza RE950's on it. I like the ride and wear of both tires very much.
The down side to both is price but they do have a 400 wear rating. I have heard good things from other Volvo owners that have Yokohama AVID's on their cars. Hope this helps.

I really like the Bridgestone Potenza's, I have them on my 91 960 5.0 wagon. I would certainly consider buying them again. Although, the tire wholesaler that I buy my tires from says that Peerless (I think that's the way it's spelled) is a private label for Brigestone and you can get the same tire or close to it for less money. Either way I really do like the Protenza's.
