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.
Reviews of spare parts for Volvo V90
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
I had these on my V90 for 3 years. Fantastic all-season tire that worked great in the snow during ski trips. Pretty quite at highway and wore great. If not driving in snow/ice I think it's overkill but 100% would buy again.
Had my pads changed (Volvo service centre) at 30k ish miles, at the main dealer and the discs were fine.
That said, I really have enjoyed the Michelin Cross Climate; amazing rain traction and very cushy. Only knock is that they are a little noisy in sweeping turns.
Just an update, I managed to find 2 sets of Nokian Haka R3 a few hours prior to my trip to Leavenworth, WA. Got out of two snow storms without a problem. These tires are bomb!
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.
Have used Michelin Cross climates SUV before and got good traction although they didn’t wear that well.
Wipers on a brand new V90 CC 2024 were bad from the dealership.
But, the rotors on these cars suck and warp really quickly. Our 18 V90cc we had the rotors replace at 16k miles and again around 40-50k. They are warping again at 70k. They seem to only last about 20k miles.
