Maybe old news, but my Exec delivered in April czme with Pirelli PZeros from factory and them seem wonderful. I couldn't comment yet an wear though...

I've gone for Savile grey too. Arriving later this month. are you pleased with colour?

I dont know if its seasonal, but I continue to see mytyres.co.uk being much more expensive than others these days - they used to be spot on the £ and I used to buy all tyres from them...

RE: My comments on getting better fuel consumption with winter tyres, I happened to come across this article on getting 118 mpg from a 1989 Honda CRX HF and saw the guy fitted Nokian winter tyres. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009...ang-ho-kim.php

Use the sales section on this forum or ebay them. I'd advertise them in pairs if I were you.

Have just fitted new Wintrac Extreme 4 all round on my XC90 today. Supplier in West Wales (AJ Tyres) says he has 12 left in stock. £620 inc vat. (for 4 not the 12 left!)

thanks again.

Yes, the car looks very classy in this colour and it sparkles nicely in the sun.

Since I ordered I've seen a very dark metallic green on an Exec parked in a street I use. It looks totally incredible, almost black, but not a colour in the current range that I can see.

What interior did you choose?

jimbo77 · May 8th, 2011, 22:05

glad to hear you like colour. ours is SE spec only so black leather faced plus one or two extras.
