4 wheels with winter tyres
4x15" wheels with Continental winter tyres fitted
As it says. I bought them last year but I just don't make enough use of them to be worth having. I think I drove in frost once. Not worth keeping them "just in case". I paid about £80 (cheap!) and then another £100 getting them resealed and balanced (not cheap.) One of the wheels has a slight dent on the inside edge of the rim. It means it loses a little air, maybe 2-3psi a week, and it causes a very slight vibration. Noticeable but not annoying. You could fix it at a specialist quite easily as the wheel is otherwise intact, but it's probably cheaper to buy a new wheel. That one wheel possibly needs sealing again as they've been sat unused for a few months. Continental Winter Contact tyres on all four, all should have over 6mm tread (but I'll double check). Looking for sensible but low offers, as they were bought as an experiment, and I'm happy to pass on the goodwill to someone else to try it this winter. The tyres are probably worth more than the wheels Just about to find the original thread with photos so I don't have to take any https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...er+continental
