I also have the R design fitted with 20" wheels. Took advantage of the snowy conditions on Sunday morning. I was delighted no problem at all. I thought it was on rails.

PS I must change my details I changed to the XC90 in January

My previous XC90 used to do this on the 18" Conti Cross Contacts. I changed them to Khumo KL12's and had the four wheels tracked at the same time. 1000% improvement in drive, handling, cornering and general wear. As soon as I bought my current XC90, the first thing I did was change the tyres to the Khumo's and have never had this issue re-occur. Even during the two bad winters, they held the road a treat. I even managed to pull 5 cars out of ruts/ditches in the snow! I cannot rate these tyres enough!
