Winter tyres? - Page 3

I'd have bought all-season tyres but no one makes them in Volvo's peculiar sizes (235/35/18), so I ended up with full winter tyres.

what are these fitted on?

Whatever comes stock with the V60 R-Design. Maybe it's 45, can't remember exactly bit do recall that no one seemed to offer all season tyres that fit.

This is the problem with 'fashion rubber bands'. It also affects some of Japanese SUVs fitted with silly profile 19" wheels as standard. The choice of winter tyres is almost nil.
