18" Zephyrus kerbing
I'm buying an XC60 for the wife and how can I put this nicely?...... she is quite prone to kerbing alloy wheels!
The 18" Zephyrus wheels look the part but this will be our first crossover car so not sure how this wheel/tyre combination fares against kerbs. I'm also thinking of how much worse they will be over the 17" in ice/snow conditions as I've found the lower the profile the worse they seem to be. Any comments greatly appreciated. John |

IMO the 18" wheels and tyres are fine and no need to worry about kerbing as the profile of the tyre is large enough that it sits above most kerbs. Cant comment on the snow/ice yet as not had the car over a winter.
