AND the Volvo V40CC is hardly a big seller so maybe Volvo ARE NOT making good business sense. As far as the "ordinary" V40 goes then maybe as a lot will be fleet co cars, motability or hire cars.
No, I didn't say anything about wheels. However 17" 18" wheels should still cope just fine with the right tyres on.

If the said owner is not happy with the tyres supplied and the dealer will not supply all season clinch the deal then either walk away or go and buy a decent set of all seasons and sell the stock tyres on ebay
