Volvo Owners Club Forum - 4 WINTER TYRES on 15" Volvo Cetus wheels for V70, 850

I have a set of very little used Semperit Speedgrip in 195/60-15 88H for sale due to change of car to a V70 2006. Unfortunately the wheels have grown massively on the S2 compared to the old V70.
I bought the tyres on a german tyre internet site and had them fitted to Volvo Cetus wheels.
We used them twice for a skiing trip to Switzerland.
In snow the car has enormous traction under acceleration AND under braking. Way better than any summer tyre and even 4x4 Subarus.
In Germany, Austria and Switzerland it is recommended to use winter tyres when the temperatur drops below 7°C because they give far better grip even just on dry road, so would still make sence in the UK.
They were very useful this winter!!
They have 7 - 7.5 mm tread (new 8mm) and were over £300 - well over £200 for the tires plus the alloys.
I would sell them for £160.

Here are a few reference sites.
