I’ve been running that in my car (p2 Volvo xc70 automatic) for the last year and have a had zero issues.
Volvo parts reviews
Of the four tires on your list, the Conti seems to me the most suitable for your conditions.
I have them on my XC60 and I like them very much.
My choice, based on the detailed research, is Petronas Syntium 7000dm 0w30. It has all the main characteristics that D3 engine requieres to run smooth and last long.
Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic. My 1988 740 has near excellent compression at 245k og miles.
can consider a parf volvo with 2-3 years left, i bought a nearly 9 years old 2016 volvo s60 t5, drove 45k km in 10 months, drove to krabi thailand, total spent $2000+ on maintenance for the 45k km i used (mostly wear and tear stuff, things like brake pads, tyres, wipers that jap cars also have to change). honestly damn good car for the price i paid (10.8k depre). 241hp stock, pretty reliable for a conti, and super quiet and comfortable.
I put brembo pads and discs last time and I got about 4 years out of them before gave up (I'm pretty hard on them).
I had the same problem with my 2024 XC90 and only driven it 3k miles in one year. The dealer replaced the brakes under warranty and the new pads are better. Honestly I think the brakes on such a heavy SUV underperform. Don’t believe the dealer, they said the same to me. Then I held my ground and said that this is a safety issue and not normal!
I am currently wearing out my pirelli scorpions that came with it, complete garbage.
New Pirelli’s on an XC90 and I do slide a bit more than I’d have thought
Just had new brakes put on my Volvo XC90 a few weeks ago (400 miles ago). They make a loud low pitch squeak when braking lightly. It’s terrible. These were installed by my Volvo dealer. Dealer says that’s just how it is. But I can’t imagine someone buying a new car with new brakes and having to deal with the same thing. Response from the dealer was “that’s just how it is”. Same response I got when I raised concerns about the cabin noise and weak AC.
