Would've thought about buying Nokians, but our family got a deal on to get those tires on all the family's cars

The Merc and possibly the V70 need some pretty big (and expensive) tyres, I don't blame you guys for taking the deal on the BF Goodrich.

My dad has a V70 with massive tyres (IIRC - 225/50 r17) he almost had a heart attack when he bought a set of Hakkapeliitta 8's and even that was with a huge discount that I had through work.
