Current tyre are 98y - which seems nonsense and I am going to move to an all weather/season type, so changing the full set in time.
Different tyre sites have come up with everything from 93 - 98, and H -W in varying combinations as being suitable.
Volvo dealer said, "we don't know, it does not show on our system. we could ask a tyre dealer" - WTF

Well it is not a heavy car or a particularly fast one, so won't require a high load and speed rating. Do you think the ones on the vehicle are inappropriate?

I would ask the dealer to confirm which tyres ship with the vehicle and ensure you buy ones with a load index and speed rating the same or higher.
