I added the spare tire kit when I was optioning my 60- it was a cheap option (€70-80, if I remember correctly..) and I wanted it for added security, as I do a lot of mountain/offroad driving. To my huge disappointment - the full size tire does not fit in the spare wheel tub (and I'm on 19" R wheels..) - so should I have a flat and need to put on the temp wheel- I'd have to stick the full size in the trunk For me, this is a huge design flaw and it sort of defeats the purpose of having a spare.. White flannel gloves and a bag for the punctured full size are included in the kit though

Uneven wear on XC90 tyres
Have a 69 plate XC90 inscription pro, air suspension etc. Normally use is towing a caravan more than solo driving. Finding rear tyres are wearing very fast on inside edge not easy to see without crawling under vehicle. It failed mot because of this, tyres only 16,000 make Pirelli Scorpion Verde X-L . Front tyres even wear. Tyre pressures increased to match loading. Anyone else seen this problem.
Is it caused by use, towing caravan over long distances. |

In theory, the air will pump up to compensate for the caravan tow ball load so that the tyres stay vertical but the load is still there.
More importantly, the SPA platform does not have trailing arms to restrict toe in/out movement. The restriction comes from a quad located swinging arm with short lengths. So the tyres are well sorted for vertical location but not squirm. It's also probable (and more likely) that the electronic speed control (which operates on the rear brakes) is pulling the tyres when the car is overspeeding or getting close to the car in front.
