Best tires for the Volvo XC90

Michelin CrossClimate2 SUV — the top all-weather pick for the XC90. Available in 235/60R18, 235/55R19, and 255/45R20. 3PMSF-rated for genuine winter capability, strong wet braking, and all-season competence. Outstanding choice for Volvo owners who value all-weather safety — which is essentially the XC90 brand promise.

Continental CrossContact LX25 — the quietest option for the XC90 in 235/55R19 and 235/60R18. Excellent wet traction, 70,000-mile warranty, very low road noise. Best for XC90 owners who spend most of their time on highway.

Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3 — Pirelli all-season for the XC90 in 255/45R20. Good all-season performance with sport character. Slightly higher rolling resistance than the Michelin or Continental but stronger dry handling feel.

Bridgestone Turanza EV — for XC90 Recharge plug-in hybrid owners who want EV-optimized tires. Foam acoustic lining reduces road noise in the quiet cabin, low rolling resistance compound, available in select XC90 sizes.
