Volvo XC40 Forums

Mine was factory-fitted with Conti EcoContact 6 (235/55 R18) and changed to Michelin CrossClimate SUV. I’m very pleased with the CrossClimate, but the latest all season SUV tire test from ADAC made me decide to switch to Primacy 4 and use CrossClimate only in winter, my concern being CrossClimate’s +6,5 m breaking distance in dry-warm conditions, see picture attached and test result here: https://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/ ... e-Test.htm

Yeah, tyres are always about compromise and often simply down to preferences.

I have another car that is primarily on the drive for warm dry conditions and it's done 655 miles between MOTs (admittedly during lockdown too). I feel comfortable with the Crossclimates, on a 2 tonne car in whatever weather is going, without having the hassle of the twice yearly wheel swap.

Must admit here in the NW of England the weather isn't too bad. Never had the need to change tyres mid-year in well over 40 years of driving.
