Default Your Volvo and living in BFE


I life in BFE Texas and I got a flat tire. Let me till you the ordeal I had to go through to get a tire. Either 6 week wait or over $400 for one tire for freight charges to get it froma civilized part of Texas. I ended up down grading the tire brand and getting four....NEW tires that might be easier to get next time I drive over 6 inch screw….The nearest dealership over 150 miles....

See my response under V70. I really don't think those are original size tires for that car. I could be wrong though since I am not that familiar with the 98 V70 AWD vehicle. My son has one and I'll see what size he is running though.
