I was original owner if my case, the date I bought the car was important to the tire shop to know when the warranty started. But in the end I got 4 new tires at a prorated price.

I read through Continental's OEM tire warranty and it's only applicable to the first owner. But I'll see what Volvo says.

It doesn't look deep (don't want to stretch them even more to find out), but enough for there to be a small leak coming out from it. I brought it to KalTire and the person who helped me felt a very minor bubble forming, but thinks I can stretch it to tire swap season in a few weeks. I've decided to get it done tomorrow for peace of mind.

It's a PITA but I knew what I was getting into. I found some wheel options that are designed for big brakes, but I don't have the equipment to test-fit them at home or know a place that can help me out.
