What tyres? (fullsize spare)
I have been looking into getting a fullsize spare wheel for my forthcoming XC60 (D3 manual). One of the issues is the tyres. A previous thread says that XC60s come with Pirelli P ZERO ROSSO. Now these tyres have a general type and a directional type apparently. Directional tyres would scupper the idea of a fullsize spare as only one side could be catered for. (Or at least, one web site says that running a directional tyre backwards merely eliminates its special advantage).
For clarification, can any current owners post specific details of the tyres they received the car with (and in particular whether they were symmetrical/assymmetric/directional)?
Thanks in advance.
