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.

Pirelli Cinturato Rosso 275-45-20 Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription 8,000 miles September 20, 2026

Long-Term Follow-Up Review: Pirelli Cinturato Rosso

Vehicle 1 (Toyota Camry Sedan): Ran 40,000 km until fully worn. Outstanding experience from day one to the wear bars. The compound remained soft, quiet, and consistently grippy throughout its lifespan in both wet and dry conditions. Excellent match for a daily front-wheel-drive sedan.

Vehicle 2 (Volvo 421 hp PHEV AWD): Currently at 12,000 km (tread depth down to ~5.1 mm). Completely different characteristics on a heavy, high-torque platform. Straight-line wet and dry grip felt mediocre immediately after installation, struggling to put the power down cleanly or bite hard under heavy braking.

However, cornering stability remains impressively sharp due to the stiff, reinforced sidewall construction keeping lateral flex in check.

Takeaway: A fantastic, durable comfort-touring option for standard sedans and lower-power vehicles, but not recommended for heavy, high-horsepower/high-torque PHEVs or SUVs where a dedicated Ultra High Performance (UHP/UUHP) tire is required.

Pirelli P Zero PZ4 275-35-22 Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription 18,000 miles August 24, 2026

my volvo xc90 originally fitted with these tires, very well balanced tire, it has sponge inside))
its harsh on bridge connections and on B roads, you can feel every crack, but on good roads and fast turns its grips on dry and in wet very well
Only issue is they are so small on profile i already had to change one due to pothole, it cutted it thru completely on the side
Overall if your roads are good, buy without thinking, on good roads its just fantastic tire, if you bad roads or mostly bad roads i wouldn't recommend, at least on 35 profile

Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV 225-45-17 Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription 5,000 miles January 17, 2026
At any point there might be ice, snow or gnarly outside, the tires tend to loose grip in every bend, roundabout, turn or whatever. While driving normally when the roads are nice, they sure do the job! They are good at stopping on ice, and snow, they are mostly good at accelerating, however almost every time you put a sideload this tyre skids about

Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 2 SUV 235-55-19- Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription 6,500 miles July 28, 2022
Generally a great tyre but they're completely shot at the front and almost dead at the back within 16 months (10,500 km, almost all city driving). Granted they were on a fairly big and upright car so they've plenty of work to do but I have never had less wear out of four tyres.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 235-55-19- Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription 100 miles June 19, 2021
The car came originally fitted with Michelin Latitude Sport 3, Tried Continental PremiumContact 6 & SportContct 5 & Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance SUV, totaled over 90,000 kilometers. Comfort/ride quality wise, These Pilot Sport 4 tires are the most comfortable under the same tire pressure/road condition, possibly due to softest sidewall among all the models. PC6s are a bit firmer, Goodyear feels a bit "bouncy", LS3s and CSC5s are total disaster. Noise wise, Goodyears are the most quiet and low pitch, PS4s and LS3s is a bit louder, CSC5s and PC6s are very noisy and higher pitch. Wet grip and dry grip among all of them are sufficient for everyday use, Goodyear do provide lower dry grip when driven hard, but with this 2.3ton SUV, I'd say it's not that noticeable. Handling wise, softer tires do lean a bit more, and feel a bit sluggish turning in to corners, but in my case it's absolutely worth it for the comfort, and I'm usually running lower pressure at 34psi rather than the recommended 38psi. Wear wise, most of them worn out between 25,000~30,000km, CSC5 and Goodyears were changed before they worn out due to complicated reasons. Might do an end of life review about these PS4s to share how they ages and the wear situation, I'll be pretty satisfied if they last over 25,000km due to softer compound, sightly low tire pressure and heavy weight of the car.
