Very disappointed. Switched to these from Bridgestones. The rate of wear was eye watering. Went through a pair on the front in about 10k miles of pretty normal usage. A false economy - lesson learnt!

Fitment comes from each tire'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.

What Volvo S40 Sport Lux drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Love these tires on this car, they may not be the greatest when it comes to wear but the car is fantastic to drive.
Great tires, better than goodyear or firestone. They have good grip specially for wet grip and are comfortable. I recomend them. On par with perhaps Dunlop or Bridgestone.
Best performance on wet roads. Good handling while taking corners in rain.
