On BBC News site, on the page that links to the article page is a link and a photo of the rear wheel only of the XC90 photographed for the article. The tyre has some serious side wall damage, confirmed when you zoom in!
The defective tyre photograph and the title above it 'The most significant development since the safety belt' are an odd couple!
