Thanks for the input. Someone else also thought it might be the tires. The vehicle I looking closely at is Volvo certified; so dealer assured me everything mechanical is in order.

I performed a test drive on two 2005 S60 R's and get a rubbing/grinding sound from the front end when a make either a tight left or right turn. Both vehicles have 235/45ZR17 Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tires mounted. 1) Is this common with the model? 2) Is this a issue that can be easily resolved? 3) If so...
