I’m after a set of 20” alloys for my S90 so could convert my 18”S to winter wheels.

Problem is, decent (ie spotless) used 20”s are so rare. How much would a dealer charge for a set of 20”s? Anyone got a link to online prices?

As for winter tyres - never felt the need for them.

No, not an issue. In fact, iirc, XC90s and possibly other SPA cars should have XL (Extra Load) rated tyres because of the weight of the vehicle.

Winter wheels but not winter tyres? How does that work?

Haha - if I found a decent set of 20”s I’d buy winter tyres for the 18”s they replaced.

Up to now, I’ve not found any need for winter tyres.

Make sense?
