How should I choose winter tires in 235/45 R18 for a Volvo V60 driven in Sweden?

Automatically reviewed answer

Hello, for winter driving in Sweden, I would choose the tire type according to your usual road conditions before choosing a particular model. Nordic non-studded winter tires are a practical starting point if your car has electronic stability control; for frequent icy roads, I would consider studded tires because of their better grip on ice. The mountain-and-snowflake marking (3PMSF) confirms qualifying snow performance; ice grip has a separate certification symbol. Before ordering 235/45 R18, check your V60’s vehicle documentation or ask Volvo to confirm the size, load index and winter speed rating for your exact version. What model year is your V60, and where in Sweden do you usually drive?
