Volvo XC70 T6 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Continental Cross Contact LX Sport given 23% (235-50-18-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 28 easy going miles
Tires came equipped on the car. Original owner was a 70+ year old doctor who drove conservatively. My wife used the car the most as their nanny and drove it home to work. She is an Asian woman who got her license in her late 30s so as you can imagine, an easy going obey traffic laws kind of a driver. The car was given to us and I put maybe 2k miles on it myself, I'm impatient and pass on the right kind of a driver but don't push the car and not a "spirited" driver. Tires cause mild vibration at maybe 55 mph and over. Car history, 28,500 Miles (obvious American) in need of 3rd tire replacement. Horrible reviews on Continentals own U.S. website. Gotta figure any tire that does not have a mileage warranty is probably going to be crap. Highway and city miles Between New Jersey to/from New York City, and Connecticut to/from New York City. Car is a 2015.5 Volvo crossover vehicle. Currently researching 4 tire replacement. Not wasting another dime on these.
Only crossover I've ever driven and no other experience with tires on the car so hard to gauge much of the scores. They don't have a score specifically for hydroplaning. Figured an AWD crossover would handle hydroplaning better. Seemed to take longer to recover than I would have expected.

Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
A lot of these tires have been recalled. Apparently General had overcured them leading to issues with the belts leading to blowouts. (static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2021/RMISC-21T001-5089.pdf) Our particular size/date code/batch was not covered in the recall, but I am experiencing a once-per-rotation side to side oscillation, mostly felt at low speeds through the steering wheel. I've experienced that years ago with some Pirelli P6 with broken belts. I took my car to my wrench, they put it on the lift, spun the tires (after convincing the anti-collision system that they were not in fact going to hit the wall), and all of the tires have a pronounced jog in the tread. I am currently trying to figure out who/how to arrange a warranty inspection to see if there is a larger problem. The tires are not wearing very fast at all, they seem to have near full tread, even with the non-winter portion of 40,000km on a very heavy car (around 1600kg). They'd be fine tires if they were straight and round. (no, I didn't hit anything)
