Have ordered winter tyres from Volvo and even managed a greater discount than I was originally offered
16" Matres wheels with Conti TS 850 tyres (+ storage, fitting & cleaning of summer wheels). Well happy with that! Pics to come once fitted at the end of the month.

Winter wheels fitted. Got a great deal on 4x 16" Matres wheels including winter storage of the summer wheels. Car is also a bit less "bumby" on the smaller wheels.

Wife's V40 had to come to the rescue on a trip to the UK when my own "german" decided it didn't want to go!
Long story short, german broke down in Belgium. Trailer came with wife's car about 4 hours later and collected mine to take it back to Germany. I made it to the UK, albeit very late! Performed very good too and avg of 45mpg to which I can't say no thanks too either!

Update on the fuel consumption.....
On this trip to the UK, the car has really shown what it can do. It is truly a remarkable car. Fast, comfortable, great on fuel and looks good too! Lots of people looking at it, although not sure that is for the looks or for the fact that the car is a LHD?! Having driven over 2000 miles all over the place, it has now passed the 10000km line (or 6000mls) and the fuel consumption have improved dramatically! Avg is now at 6.3l/100kms (45mpg) but on motorways/long run does an amazing 5.4l/100kms (52mpg). Another amazing thing is that the OBC is spot on to 100%!! Well happy with that
