I was very happy initially with these tyres for my Volvo XC 90 2007. Excellent grip, which I felt in tight corners. However after only 35000 km, driving about 80% highway 20% city, the grip felt decreased and I could often spin the front wheels when accelerating a bit when starting. I drove in the snow and rain with them when they were still good and was OK (driving carefully). I have now seen that the front tyres are shot, while the back ones are still OK. I have put winter tyres on and will have to buy 2 new summer ones in the spring. I'm disappointed with the early wear, 21000 miles for the front ones. Maybe it's the car, maybe it's me. Who knows? I won't rule out another set, but maybe I'll change just to see if another brand lasts longer.
