I have CC2s on my Volvo XC90. So far I've put 45k miles and anticipate replacing them after another 10k or so. The thing I really like about Michelin tires is that they are so consistent right to the end.
My old 04 Volvo Xc90 had 311k on the dash before the alternator gave up lol. Doing better than that!
Also after running ATs on my XC90, I could never go back to not having all that extra meat on the outside edges - especially on the fronts.
Coworker made this for me after I spent the whole day replacing the cat on a new XC90
Love my '07 v8. She is a heavy beast though. I've only replaced ball joints so far, but the front end still makes some noise and I'm sure there's more suspension work in our future. I bought it with 90k and have 130k now.
I bought my Volvo XC90 with Hankooks. I replaced them when they wore out with Michelins. The Hankooks weren't horrible, but the Michelins were enough better to make them worth the extra money, IMO.
I've got an '07 V8 Sport with 90k miles. The summary I'd give is that it'll be a good bet after it's a bit of a money pit. I've dropped about $2,500 on mine in the last year for routine maintenance. Everything is more expensive on this vehicle, but as long as you keep up on routine maintenance they are bullet proof. At 90k, you'll want to know if the power steering pump has been replaced ($1,100 for an indy Volvo specialist to do it) as it's going out or about to. A/C compressor is also known to be funky around this time period ($600 if fixed, $1,200 + if replaced). Plus these vehicles are HEAVY so the suspension components start to wear down. They also EAT tires more than any vehicle i've ever owned.
The brakes made of wet cardboard is the only disappointment I have with my 2020 XC90.
