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.

Sorry I assumed it was an older one, the trick with big heavy Volvo's is to feather the power in because they have a bit of a turbo lag that once overcome you get the whole power band in one go which can take you by surprise, you'll adjust to it once you know how to feel for it.
