Sold 01 XC70 after 2 yrs use. Just turned in 06 XC90 Ocean Race off-lease after putting on 35k. Replaced with 2004 S80 T5 AWDw/50k mi.

My S80 q'ns: No foglights in bumper, so want to buy a pair and install myself if can, along with switch. How easy is this? I have replaced the fogs before in other cars, so not worried; but am a bit concerned about installing the switch.

Also, tires. Prior owner put on a set of BF Goodrich g-force Sport 225/50ZR/17 94Ws. These appear to be a performance tire with good tread life left, aggressive tread pattern. It appears Goodrich has an all-season version called g-force SuperSport. (I'll need them for Kansas City winter.) Any thoughts on a good all-season tire?

Finally, Bluetooth. Had a Volvo Bluetooth unit in XC90, which worked great. Dealer says can install similar unit in S80 for about $450. Have also been looking at Parrot bluetooth products, and also see that Motorola has a unit thst is so similar to Volvo's that I suspect they made Volvo's. Anyone have thoughts?

Thanks, and looking forward to Forum membership.

 

I bought Michelin Pilot all seasons, I've had them for about1.5 years, They are great, really great in the snow/rain/sleet !!! The down side is they are wearing kinda fast (i feel). I roughly have 20k on them and the rating was given to them as "7 edge of tire, 6 middle tread of tire, and 7 on the inner edge" for all my tires. The warranty on them is 25k, I have had them rotated before each season. These tires are expensive I think I paid 900$, mounted, balanced, road hazzard warranty, and aligned.
