Volvo XC40 T5 Plug In Hybrid Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental EcoContact 6 given 54% (235-50-19-)
Driving on mostly town for 11900 easy going miles
In city/town speed use I have no major problems. However last year passing through Austria on the motorway late at night in heavy rain the tires had ‘moments of tire grip loss in straight lines when the vehicle had done less than 6000 miles from new and therefore the tread depths were good.
At just under 12000 miles I have 3mm front and 4-4.5mm rear left so I don’t think tire wear is very good but I do except that PHEV’s and Fully electric vehicles are heavier and wear quicker.
My local driving is mostly short journeys on electric and I pride myself on the smoothness of my driving which I think is chauffeur like. Once on the motorways or in bad weather they are not as good as I would expect for an expensive tire. I’m now considering fitting an all season tire such as the Michellin cross contact 2

Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 easy going miles
I hate these. Steering is imprecise, grip and handling in the dry is tolerable, but not brilliant. With some water on the road the grip disappears. Aquaplaning is horrible. I hit a puddle on the motorway at 70mph (yes, really, 70mph, not a fast interpretation of that) and nearly lost control of the car. Fast acceleration has these tires slipping; even moderate braking can trip the ABS. I'm throwing these away after just 2000 miles because they're so bad. I don't know what Continental have done here, they used to be able to make tires that actually worked. And I really don't understand why Volvo fit these as OEM equipment.
