Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Nokian Remedy WRG5 235-45-18- Volvo S60 2.0T 2,000 miles March 20, 2025
Great traction in rain and snow, super confidence inspiring. Braking in snow and ice is good too. Braking on very wet pavement is not quite as good as my prior UHP all season tires, but still decent. Very predictable handling and not mushy like other all weathers. Good feedback on the grip limit. Update as I've had them now for about 6000 miles and 1 year. Wet performance seemed to improve slightly after the first ~1000 miles. They have been wearing well and I'm on track to get about 45k miles from them. Had them in temperatures as high as 110f with high speed driving and no issues.

Horizon HU901 215-55-16- Volvo S60 2.0T 1,700 miles May 29, 2021
For the price of these tires, o must say I am pleased, i am driving a 2015 Volvo S60 and previously had yokohama bluEarth tires which were very good however these Horace tires almost match up to the standards even though they are half the price, if you are looking for a budget tire that will see you through then I recommend these.

Nexen N1000 225-45-17- Volvo S60 2.0T 22 miles March 4, 2016
Fitted four of these types to my Volvo S60, previously fitted either Dunlop or Pirelli. These Nexen types are fantastic 14,000 miles a year on motorway at speed and also around town. Still plenty tread after two winters and app 20,000 miles maybe a bit more. I had them fitted and balanced at Kwik Fit and then the x4 wheel alignment and tracking at Volvo. I would highly recommend these types.

Continental Sport Contact 3 225-45-17- Volvo S60 2.0T 25,000 miles September 9, 2015
The Continental Sport Contact 3s replaced CSC 2s about 32 months ago in December 2012 and with regular balancing and rotation (every 10,000 kms / 6,250 miles / 6 months)) have travelled 42,000 kms (c. 25,000 miles). I live in Johannesburg, and our roads are not particularly well maintained. I have driven to/from Durban at least 4 times (say 800 miles round trip)during this period as well as off-road in the Pilanesberg Nature Reserve a couple of times, and a few other long distance trips (about 200 miles each one). No flat tyres at all (surprisingly!) and these tyres have lasted me the 'longest'. They are though quite 'noisy' now, and I shall be replacing them at 45,000km (28,125 miles), and in all likelihood with CSC 5s.

BCT S800 225-45-17-W Volvo S60 2.0T May 16, 2015
Were fitted on my car when I bought it. Sounded like a wheel bearing had gone and it droned at anything over 30mph, dangerous in the wet and mediocre in the dry. Simply put the worst tyres I have ever come across - I would strongly urge anyone considering a set to think again!!

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 225-45-17-W Volvo S60 2.0T 500 miles June 13, 2014
I fitted a pair to the rear axle of the car last month, and what an improvement over the P6000s that were OEM fitted. The walls of the F1s are noticeably more flexible than the P6000s, so no surprises that the ride on pockmarked British roads is improved. Admittedly, UK spec S60s are quite firm in the suspension, but the added compliance in the tyre really compliments the car. In terms of grip, all I can report is that come rain or shine the car has felt securely planted, even on wet and knobbly A roads. I will be sourcing up two more in due course for the front axle. I think that the F1s ride more quietly than the P6000s too. Drive carefully!

Where this data comes from

Every rating on this page was submitted by a driver through the review form on this site, naming the car, the tyre, the size and the distance covered. Reviews are checked by hand before publication, and the page rebuilds automatically as new ones arrive.
