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.
Every tyre reviewed on the Volvo V60 D5
The complete record, including discontinued tyres and tyres with too few reviews to rank, ordered by the amount of evidence. A further 8 tyres have a single review each; they count toward the totals but are not listed.
Only had these tyres for a couple hundred miles so far, dry conditions. Replaced Pirelli tyres as I was on a budget after some recent heavy expenses.
Initial are thoughts are good, I was concerned about buying budget as this is the first time I have done so.
Tyre noise seems far less than the usual Pirelli I've had on this car (Volvo V60) and the handling has been no issues with it being mainly motorway and countryside driving.
I got this with the car and never would have bought chinese tyres myself - so the first though was that the noise is bad and when I got driving on high way the noise went to really bad.
Dry grip is ok but wet grip during heavy rainfall felt like dangerous.
I was caught short with a wrecked tyre so I replaced the two fronts with Duraturn Mozzos, to date I have done approx 6000 miles and I cannot fault them.The dealer didn't have any Ovations which is what I was running so I gave them a go, at just over £100 for two tyres fitted I would happily fit them again.
I expected some form of compromise due to the price but to date I have no complaints at all.
I purchased this set of 4 Pirelli P7 Blue tyres, replacing Continentals on my Volvo V60, after reading reviews.
I was particularly impressed by the 3/4 mpg reduction in my fuel consumption, but my problems with these tyres are that they are very easily damaged. 3 out 4 of these tyres have had to be replaced due to sidewall bulges. The first was replaced after 10,200 miles. The second was replaced at 16900 miles and the faulty tyre returned to Pirelli for their comments, which were that the damage was probably caused by pot holes. Both these tyres were replaced with the same PirelliP7 Blue tyres. The third tyre was replaced with an Avon tyre, as it was the only one available in stock at the particular tyre centre, with the correct specification, and the faulty tyre again returned to Pirelli for their comments and again the response was that the damage was probably caused by pot holes.
Now, considering the state of a lot of our roads, regarding pot holes, I don't consider these tyres fit for purpose, It's easy for Pirelli to just state that 'it's probably due to pot hole damage', but if the side walls are not strong enough to withstand the rigors of our roads, they are not fit for purpose, and added to that is the inherant cost of replacing tyres that were not worn out!.
I have never had this type of problem with any previous makes tyres, on any of my cars, in over 50 years of driving.

Ovation VI 388235-40-18-Volvo V60 D51,000 milesOctober 27, 2018
I have always bought tyres with a name, my tyre fitter recommended Ovations to me as he had them fitted on his own car and van. For the money I gave them a go, they have been on for approx 1000 miles and I honestly cannot fault them. Prior to fitting the two fronts I ran Avon ZZ3's which I was very happy with, however I will not hesitate to fit Ovations when my rears are due.
I have these tyres for about 2 months now on a volvo v60 with 215bhp with awd. The grip and steering response is great with surprising levels of comfort. My previous tires were Pirelli P7 and Nokian z-line , i think the Continentals are a blend of sticky and resonsive tyres (like the nokians) and comfort tyres . Hopefully they won't wear out in 30.000 km like the nokians .
