We’re on 2nd set of the cross climates on an XC90. Only downside is they are a little noisy. Soooo much better than OEM tires…
We just put a set of these on our V90 CC a couple months ago, and so far I’ve been loving them. Very grippy in dry or wet conditions. Haven’t driven them in snow yet, but I live in upstate NY and will certainly get the chance soon enough. They are much softer ride and quieter than the Pirelli scorpions.
I love these tires. The tread pattern is ugly and you can’t rotate them side to side but they will handle anything. Are cleared for mountain passes and even perform well through the limited spirited driving I do in my V60cc. When time comes to replace them it will be with another set of the same.
I just bought Nokians for my S80, similar pattern. Certainly a great upgrade regardless!
Yokohama tires. I love yokos. They have a great balance between cost, wear, and feel. We usually get a 3PMS variant of some sort. Currently CV4S models on the 19 XC90.
I might add use the best oil you can find - this will keep your PCV system spotless and other good things. I always use oil to the severe service Volvo spec listed in the owners manual. I now am pretty exclusive to the LiquiMoly line. I insist on 3rd party certification
sometimes I think it gets itself into a feedback loop. It's like the sensor detects the wiper itself as rain and speeds up, which will lead the sensor to detect the wiper again and speeds up further. Now thinking about it; I don't think I have had this issue recently and I did change the wiper blades in the spring, so maybe that helped.
Had both rear brake calipers seize up on mine so have a look at them and check that they're in good nick. That can happen on any car though, so it's not specific to this Volvo, but worth checking before it leaves you stranded like mine did.
Paid charging is problematic mainly because the T8 charges so slow. You'd have to leave your car at a charger for like 5.5 hours to fill the battery.
Beautiful 22" Pirelli Scorpion Zeros that blew out on me with about 25,000 miles (40,000 km) on them. Total garbage tires.
