I got my copy from the dealer. Not sure if it's available online.

I've scanned a couple of pages from the 2016-17 brochure.

Note, in xc90 at least momentum has raised bars and inscription / rdesign have low ones. So you need to be clear what you fit them on if you want it to be useful info.
For instance somewhat perversely volvo neatest looking load carrier will only work on momentum as it’s very low.

I have been offered a wheel and tyre package by a Volvo dealer of Nokian WR SUV 4.

I see that these are the ones that the OP has.

Has anyone else any experience of these? Given the choice I would probably go for Conti Wintercontact TS850s but the Nokian package is a particularly good deal.....

I had a set of Nokian winter tyres (SUV3) on my previous XC60, very impressive during the time I had them on - would certainly recommend them.

I then changed to Nokian All Season tyres which were equally impressive during the winter months.

It's Electric Silver............... matt appearance may be caused by it needing a wash

No issues so far, looks like they may be tested this week with the snow forecast.

I feel the car is more comfortable over the rougher roads, probably down to a mixture of less unsprung mass and larger sidewalls caused by the running 18" wheels rather than 20".

Nokian's are highly rated in the highlands of Scotland, I found the WR SUV 3s which I previously had excellent. I well and truly tested them on a ski holiday to Austria, first driving on local roads with compacted snow/ice and then in very difficult white out conditions on the motorway (where we sadly saw multiple accidents).

What discount %’s are Volvo currently offering on your above wheel set, this is the same tyre I will be going for.
