Comment:
They are finally down to the wear indicators after 19,000 miles on the front of my XC90, and I have been happy with wear, noise, grip, etc. However, being less than 2 years old I am concerned at the rubber tread blocks perishing - you can get the end of a finger nail under the corner of some blocks. My tyre dealer has said there's not much he can do as they are so worn (although I'm not trying to claim for a new set given the use they have had). Just wondered if anyone else had reported such perishing or if you had encountered it? Car has not been raced or rallied, off roaded significantly, no excessive cornering/maneuvering, etc. Tyres fitted March 1999, manufacture date is August 2008 Thanks
