Hi. I thought that the noise was tyre brand and profile related and not suspension (air or normal) related. Can I ask where you get your information from please? Everything i have read has referred to noise from 20in contis and nothing about air suspension......

I'm on air. It does not solve the road noise problem.

The road noise is probably due to the tarmac used in the UK. The XC90 i drove was on smooth Swedish roads (not that all are smooth though). Its the same when i am over in the UK with my own car, much more noisy than in say France, Holland etc. The conti's are normally a nice and quiet tyre and i think that the only way to get rid of it as much as possible would be to go down the smaller wheels road...(no pun intended).

Bad tarmac or not xc90 emphasises the noise on concrete sections of m25 like no other car I've been in even though it's quieter than other cars elsewhere, though not as quiet as one would expect for the money. In my book it's a small road noise problem and a serious resonance issue.

Well, I didn't get the promised phone calls from either the salesman nor the sales manager. Not impressed.
Looks like I'll be visiting the Lexus dealer again. They know how to look after customers. |

Update: I got a call this evening from the original sales guy I saw last Wednesday (he'd been away since). He sorted things out and I'm doing another test drive on Thu with 19" wheels fitted.

Got a call to say that they couldn't source a car with 19" wheels locally.
Salesman offered to arrange for Volvo UK to deliver one to me for a 48 hour test drive. This should be towards the end of next week. Getting there slowly. |
