Anyone else experienced this?

Not noticed this on my XC60 & have had the cross-climates on for 2 months now.

What pressure are you running I run the eco pressure so 39psi

Thanks for your reply. Have you noticed any ‘tracking or cambering’ like the previous member?

2.5 bar so just over 36 psi. I tried the eco pressures with the Continentals but didn't like it. I'll give it a go again with the Michelins

Not noticed anything, they are definitely an improvement.

So, no joy with the eco pressures.

I have the car booked in on the 3rd for a Hunter alignment so hopefully that'll sort it ...

Fitted 4 Pirelli scorpion Verde A/s tyres last week. First impressions are similar to above the thread in that I feel the car is tramlining. My theory is the extra tread depth and grippier tread pattern over the ditchfinders that were on the car when I bought it are causing it to behave like this.
I only notice it at slow speeds and on really poor road surfaces.
I'm gonna let the tyres scrub in a bit and see how it fairs over the next few weeks.

So, Hunter alignment found one of the rears slightly out of toe alignment but nothing else wrong.

Further testing has me thinking this is just the tyres being more sensitive to camber than the Contis so just going to have to put up with it. Must admit it has spoiled my enjoyment of the car

Hopefully we get some real winter weather so I can put the tyres to a real test ...

Hey guys,

In 255/45/20 size is the Cross Climate tyre the only one available that has the 3PMSF symbol on it?

Thanks
