Yes, tires and wheels are included. Tires were mounted and road force balanced when installed new.

Set of Four Michelin Premier 205/65 R15 tires with only 3k miles

Almost brand new set of four (4) Michelin Premier 205/65 R15 tires mounted on Volvo 5 lug alloys from 1998 Volvo V70 XC but will fit many other cars. Less than 3,000 miles on the tires. $400 or best offer.

I am located near Keene, NH and may be willing to drive closer to Boston for the right price.

Re: Catalytic converter removal, '99 V70XC

I forgot to mention these other things:

1. It is necessary to rotate a rear wheel so you can remove the driveshaft bolts one by one. Putting the car into park after each time makes it much easier to remove the bolts
2. Extensions and universals get used a lot in this job so have a wide assortment ...

Re: V70XC 1999 Best place in Massachusetts for servicing Volvo?

I use Fiske Automotive in Lancaster, MA. They are Volvo only and do amazing work and at a good price. I had them do my the fuel pump on my XC and it was about $600 of labor versus the dealer saying ~$1200 of labor!

Re: Fuel Guage not working 1998 V70 XC

I have the same problem on my 1998 V70 XC. I just had the fuel pump (which includes one of the two sending units) and it did not fix the problem. My mechanic tested both sending units and they were functioning perfectly. He then tested the gauge from the Volvo diagnostic system and the system could ...
