They were a bit baggy in the dry summer conditions and squealed a bit on roundabouts if a little spirited, which in a wobbly Volvo is not very spirited at all.

So like you I have my concerns about using these all year round on an A8.

I think I might just get a duplicate set of wheels for winter, keeping one set as the 'good' wheels with decent sport tyres.
