An update on my Petlas Velox Sport. I am now at 41k km and they have started to break down and cause a steering vibration past 90 km/h! i have rotated and balanced all 4 tires and i still have a little bit of vibration on 90 - 130 km/h, the tires shop told me they are starting to become out of round but the tread is very little worn and the grip in the dry and wet is still very good. Will probably replace them soon and try out the new model that replaces velox sport.

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 S80 D3 163 Comfort chassis (modified) drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I have been using this tires for my volvo S80 diesel and i have done almost 38k km until now and they are looking very good so far!
I see that the performance is still the same in the dry and also wet grip and i do drive on some highspeed backroads and the handling is very good for this price range of tires. This brand of tires i would really recommend escpecially for the good price they have!
Fitted these Nokian to suit my driving style as well as the harsh conditions in winter. I was amazed by the dry grip to start with, no spin even on full throttle, which is handy when the weather is around 10°C and not really winterish. Very stable at speed, so quiet that you could fall asleep. No increase in fuel consumption. In the wet, it is about the same, good handling, stopping distance and acceleration. Snow handling is just the best. Having a FWD, good tires are required. What I really liked was that when the roads are not maintained, you don't have a puncture each time you drive over a pothole which was the case with my previous winter tires as they were too soft. The price is a bit on the heavy side, but if I had to drive a lot in winter, I would not hesitate once to invest. But that will be in 5yrs+ now for me, and I'm sure Nokian will have figured how to design an even greater tire in the meantime.
I bought these tires to replace old Nexen tires fitted by the previous owner of my car. All of a sudden, the car changed. The tires were actually able to transfer the torque (400nm) to the ground without any spin like the old ones. Wet or dry, it gives a much quicker acceleration and confidence. I was totally unable to find the limits of these tires as of today but being a FWD car that is not sporty by any means, this is no surprise. I have Koni Special Active fitted, as well as upgraded rear sway bar, bushings, endlinks and that kind of stuff and I can guarantee that the PZ4 is the right tire to have for a dynamic driving. No loss of traction, no DSTC warning. Same for the braking as I have upgraded disks and pads, stopping distance is unbelievable.
The main reason why I bought them in the first place is their quietness (69db) and low rolling resistance for low consumption but the overall performances are exceptional. I am truely satisfied with this purchase and it was a pain to change for winter tires when the time came !
