Volvo S60 T6 Tires
I have had more trouble with, and learned a lot about, tires since I bought my Volvo s60 T6 2 years ago. I have been uneasy about not having a spare tire, especially since the roads in the northeast are full of potholes with the rough winter we had. After losing tire pressure for the zillionth time, the tech at the service station said he was shocked that Volvo sold the car without run flat tires. Since I knew nothing about such things, he explained that other high end cars stopped selling cars with a spare tire, but they have run flat tires so that they are not stranded if they get a flat. Volvo gives neither a spare, nor run flat tires, so one is truly stranded with a flat. I think this is unconscionable! I buy Volvo for safety, and this is. huge safety concern! Had I known all this before, I probably wouldn't have bought the car.

Did you buy the S60 new? If you did the dealer should have explained that there was no spare tire, only an inflation kit. Shame on them if they didn't. I also but an S60 2 years ago and would not consider driving without a spare, so I ordered the Volvo Tempra donut spare, which was a $250 option at that time. When I went to take delivery of the car, there was no spare in the trunk. They forgot to order it. I refused to take delivery without the spare. They promised me they would deliver me a spare within 2 days. I took them at their word and completed the deal. Sure enough, 2 days later I had the spare free of charge.
