Nail in tire on a V60 S60

Responding to your "will I get another VOlvo"

Including my P544 I had in the 60's this is my forth Volvo.
Last year I bought a 2015 Subaru Outback and disliked it so much that I traded it in on this V60. I took a $6,000 hit on the deal.

I like Volvo's but in the past what I found is that when they need something it is usually costly. I didn't think anything about the tires when I bought it. Well, yes I did and that was the tread depth. It was a CPO car and I thought that handing off a tire that was 50% used was a bit off. Yes they were within their CPO guidelines but when I"m spending $25,000 they could have thrown in some tires at their cost.

Talking with tire places the consensus is that my wheel size limits my choices a bit. And they all seem to need to order any tires I want.

I know it isn't the fault of the car, the nail that is but my wife and I were joking this morning about the Honda CRV verses the V60. We've had the 2015 Honda for over three years, it had @ 90,000 miles on it when we bought it. Since owning it the maintenance cost has been a set of wiper blades. Owning the Volvo for 6 months the need for the tires will far outweigh the cost of three years ownership of the Honda. Just seems that a Volvo is always a money magnet but I like them so I pay to play.

My Kuhmos worked well in the snow for my rear wheel Jaguar. As well as a Jaguar can go in the snow.
