Honestly - dunno. May be. It's my first Volvo and first new car in my life - I'm youngster. ;-) The rub marks I'm getting from Yokohamas are somewhat high on the wheel wells so I'd say yes, it can be in part because of suspension aging.

Well, I didn't spend much time choosing. If I did, it probably would have been different brand but... we moved from Miami Beach (read: excellent roads) to NoVa in March (read: pothole season) and in our second week here my wife caught some awesome potholes that caused HUGE blisters on sidewalls of already balding Pirellis ready to go off. So we went for Sears (the only place that was open Saturday afternoon in this otherwise bearable area ;-) ) and took the best they had in 235/45-17 size. But honestly if I knew I'll need to move to NoVa at the time, I would have NEVER gone for 17 inches. I probably wouldn't have bought Volvo either... ;-)
