I thought torque steer tended to pull one way but, as you say, camber may play a part. I had an MB E55 with similar performance and I always felt in control. Admittedly that was rear wheel drive. In this car it feels dangerous unless you take great care. It feels as if Volvo wouldn't be careless so something is not right. I assume they test their polestar versions. When I can find a tyre place that can track 22in wheels I'll get it checked out, just in case.

I must add, and I appreciate this is personal to me perhaps (let’s see the comments that follow) that Pirelli tyres are far and away the least grippy I have used.
I have purchased cars with Pirelli in them, and I use them through their life and get Goodyear efficient grip (excellent), Dunlop SP sort, Avon, or now (2nd set) michelin cross climates.
I have also bought cars with budget tyres on them which are better than Pirelli.
Once up for renewal I would suggest looking elsewhere other than Pirelli which in my experience are overpriced poor performing tyres…
