Vovlo s80 tyres

[IAmTheWalrus]

Hi,

So I read the VolvoS80 was supposed to have the same 0-60 the BMW 320CI Sport I had of around 9.5 seconds and yet, I fail to see how this is possible given the slipping and lack of traction I have experienced, I know the BMW wheels are far wider but how can it have the same 0-60 with smaller wheels if it has less grip? I read the front wheels I have presently are Evergreen but I read they had good reviews, I will look into the exact model and report back, I don't understand though when its apparently front wheel drive and has a huge engine at the front why I am not getting the same grip I did in my previous front wheel drive Mondeo 1.8 or indeed Hundai Lantra 1.6. Though curiously I know the braking is GREAT so something is gripping well under certain circumstances.

I know from previous MOT wheels need replacing shortly, can anyone reccomend anything good?

I would say you need better tyres from a decent brand to start with. Then a dry warm day on decent tarmac and a maybe a new clutch plate to replicate that time.

Oh, how so? Where can I get an accurate picture of 0-60? But yeah I need to get more tyres at some point.
