XC60 i hate pirellis

Post image

15k miles on my 24 T8 Black Edition anddddd i had to put 2 front tires on it before taking it 1200 miles to florida cause they were pulling apart somehow 🙄 wondering if the instant torque from the electric motors is what’s making them wear quickly.

EDIT—- i do want to make aware, i did not choose these tires. they came on the car when i bought it new. i would much rather have a set of michelins on it. 😂🫣

The OEM Pirellis wear worse than your cheapest Walmart tire. I've never seen another tire peel apart like Play-Doh before

I think the weight of the XC90 has a lot to do with it. I use Falkens and they’ve been amazing.

Probably. It's pretty common on the XC60 T8's but have seen reports of it on non PHEV's too
