Hi everyone. If you could answer me this please. What tyres come fitted as standard in the UK? Please can you list your wheel size too.

What we are really looking for is if they come with all seasons or just summer tyres?

Thanks

Mine's a T4 AWD with 18" wheels and it came with Michelin Primacy 4 tyres.

I know nothing about them apart from black and round.

They work very well and cause me no concerns.

Volvo does not factory equip its cars with all season tires. If your car has 18” wheels you’ll most probably get it delivered with Michelin Primacy 4 tires. This tire scored the best in the stringent ADAC 2020 SUV summer tire test https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/ ... 35-55-r17/ In English https://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/ ... e-Test.htm

My R Design 20” wheels are fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres. I’ve found these to be great so far,although not had the car long enough to see what they will be like in winter conditions. On my previous car I did use summer and winter tyres ( Michelin Pilot Sport 4s & Michelin Alpine Sport) this time I will go for the Michelin Cross climates when the Pirelli P Zero’s need replacing.

Mine came with Michelin Primacy 4 (235/55 R18). Switched out to Crossclimates after around 4k miles, partly because I was heading for Scotland and the French Alps over winter but mostly because they're the tyres I prefer.

I found the Primacy 4 a bit understeery in the wet at the recommended pressure, although they were better when I dropped the pressure by a couple of psi.

Mine was factory-fitted with Primacy 4 tyres but I will change those to Michelin Cross Climate when they are worn. I've been using Cross Climates for several years on a string of Mercedes C Class cars and like them very much - they provided good grip, better ride and were quieter than the Mercedes recommended tyres.
Cheers,
Ron
