Default Replacement Tyres for 2020 XC40 Recharge T5?

Hi,

My September 2020 XC40 Recharge T5 with only 16,200 miles has need of at least 2 new tyres. Fronts are around 80% worn and rears at 52%.

Currently I have Continental 235/50/19 V 103 all round. Volvo are quoting me £202 per corner which sems a little steep!

So do I change all 4 or just the front 2 and what would you recommend I use that have better rain and fuel ratings than these Continental's?

I am a Costco member and they have some Bridgestones and Goodyears that look interesting.

Thanks

Steve

Blackcircles have Michelin Cross Climate 2 SUV at £177 fully fitted Inc vat at the moment which seems a fair deal as you don't have to worry about any normal London winters for 3 or 4 years. Same 103 load rating as well.

Good idea?

Try Camskill, they have non Volvo Conti’s for £136 delivered.

All you need to do is take them to a local tyre depot to get them fitted.

Or you could pay more to have a Volvo logo on the side!

If you only buy two put them on the rear and run the fronts down and buy another two.
