Default XC40 Initial Niggles

I have just acquired a T3 Inspiration and am still familiarising myself with the car. There are a couple of niggles so far:

- It is difficult to close the bonnet properly as the driver-side lock is reluctant to function. I expect that this something that can be adjusted by the dealer.

- The tyres fited are Michelin Primacy 4 which seem to be decent tyres. However, and it is potentially a big however, these do not seem to be available to the public in the appropriate size. How come that Volvo would fit a type of tyre for which replacements are not available? The implication for the customer is that on having to replace one tyre through puncture damage, at the very least two new tyres of a different sort would be required so that like tyres would be on the same axle. This requires further investigation.

In other respects, the upholstery seems a bit cheap in places, but I do not hold that against it.
