Comment:
The original car tyres. Bridgestone had no contract with Volvo Portugal, so I ordered Contisportcontac3... but the order delayed and so volvo delivered the car with these. Told-me to test and then if unhappy they would change them for free. I trashed them in the first 3000km... NO GRIP AT ALL if driven hard. I would complain about the car if i hadn't driven one before. It's so confort oriented that it forget's it's function as a tyre. I delivered them with bites and pieces missing... they bend so much that you couldn't read pirelli anylonger.
