I haven’t had a chance to drive to the end of life cause I sold my car. I remember being quite happy with them.
I bought Nokians for my current car that I drive now. Excellent winter tires. However I understand that from 2022 Nokian is manufacturing tires in china for the market that I live in. I believe that I will switch to Michelin winter tires from next season as Nokian quality dropped for market of south east Europe.

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.
How long do tires last on the Volvo XC60?
Across 31 end of life reviews from Volvo XC60 drivers, a typical set of tires was worn out after 30,000 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 10,000 miles and 38,000 miles.
Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them.

The complete record, including discontinued tires and tires with too few reviews to rank, ordered by the amount of evidence. A further 59 tires have a single review each; they count toward the totals but are not listed.

What Volvo XC60 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Might be because of the car (heavy), but the wear and handling was not superior. Managed to destroy one in early lifetime with a sharp edge, and now I finally had a tire blowout while just cruising on a normal road. Never happened to me before over 35 years driving
With only 22,000 miles I don't have much info on longevity, but so far they have been great. This tire is labeled VOL PNCS which means that the tire was made specifically for the Volvo XC60 T8 Recharge MY2024 and has the Pirelli Noise Cancelling System which makes these tires very quiet. Quite noticeable when driving on Battery only. Grip has been great so far, but don't have a lot of driving in the snow just yet.
I bought a set of 4 tires. the first years of snow were excellent. They performed best for me on a wet road. Not once did I aquaplan or get wet. I drive slowly because I'm always with the kids, I really lie on the gas. excellent price and quality.
Surprisingly good budget tires. They performed better than expected in dry and wet. They performed as well as most other all-weather tires in snow and ice (that is to say, adequate but nowhere near the performance of winter tires). For the price, would definitely buy them again.
The tires got really bad while aging. I don't know if I had tires from a bad lot, but they were extremely noisy.
When they had about 5 mm tread left, the snow grip got really bad and I decided to replace them with Continental TS870P.
I would not recommend them for heavy cars like my Volvo XC60 D5 AWD.
They were very good on wet and dry roads when new and also when aged. But the winter (snow, ice) performance was not making me feel safe, therefore I replaced them immediately as the snow handling got bad.
Very safe tires. Confidence while driving but not sporty. But I have a 2 tonne suv so it's not sporty to begin with.
Very soft walls. New design, Production 2026.
Looks good for now.
Looks good for now.
Grip on dry is perfect, handling on dry is very good, as well as breaking distance. When it comes to wet conditions, handling is good, breaking distance also, but if you enter a deeper water you can feel aquaplaning resistance is not so good, and this has been from day 1. I would say wet conditions are good, except with deep water. Wear is also good after almost 15 000 miles.
I would recommend this tire, especially when you take its price in consideration, I think there is no better competitor in the same price range.

Dry grip and wet grip is good. Aquaplaning is terribly dangerous same as chinese tires.
