All that have had some isssues feel free to respond as well. What I am looking for is those that have had to replace them due to defects/vibration issues. I am currently out $535 U.S. and Volvo and Pirelli are pointing fingers at each other. It's been a month and nothing yet despite many calls. have posted this to several boards but if you know someone that has had the same issue they can e mail me directly as well. jsd13@earthlink.net. I neeed all the backup I can get on this one.

TIA

How many miles did you have on the tires? What pressure did you run? How often did you rotate the tires? What was the specific reason you had to replace the tires? I am not a fan of Pirelli tires, and they certainly have some wear/noise issues, but I have seen a number of '01 and '02 XC's that have gotten 25-30k out of the original tires. I also think I can safly say I drive more Volvos than 99% of the posters on this board.
