In what way did the Cross Climate tyres come in useful over the performance of the factory fit Primacy ones? I'm interested as I have the original Primacy ones fitted. To be fair they just seem fine and drive as well as other tyres I've used. But it would be useful to have other experiences. For me...

I swapped my Michelin Primacy 4 tyres for Cross Climate (which came in useful during a winter break in Scotland in February). Usually swap to winter tyres and back to Summer in March but will now keep cross climates on all year. Anyone want to buy 4 off Michelin Primacy 4 tyres (235/55 R18V) with 6...

Haven't seen them since the 70s

Can I add that I've never experienced any of the negatives that @OldFace has, but I have had the full emergency stop process on a UK motorway and active lane switch prevention in France with a car sitting on my rear quarter, as the French do. Both times were justified and may not have avoided an inc...

As a software engineer my view is that good hardware manufacturers (cars, TVs, cameras, computers, phones etc.) are all rubbish at software, and vice versa. Apple are probably the exception that proves this rule. Volvo's software would never pass my UX or QA tests, but I don't think it's a showstopp...
