Had all wheel alignment done couple of months ago, there was some dissalignment but nothing significant, all aligned now will see how things go over next 12 months.
At best part of 30k from a pair of tyres I won't throw any more money at the problem
Not sure what that means but in my experience there a big difference in tyre wear between 36 psi and 39 psi as to virtually stop inner edge wear on the S40/V50/C70 and the S60/V70/S80 / XC60 XC90 ranges.. If you are happy with the ride it is all bonus , longer tyre life , more even tyre wear , better wet grip , better fuel consumption , more precise steering . less power steering pump wear .. yes you would be surprised the incredible effort it takes to steer a volvo with 25 psi in the tyres ..
