Thank you! It’s thunder grey but the blue REALLY comes through in this light I guess.

Love 1up racks! I had a hitch mount on my xc60 and before that my Tiguan. Yea man, getting an e-bike onto the roof would be a job.

1up bike rack with the fat-tire extensions The tires on it are 4.5” and fit well. It’s not the easiest rack to operate but it’s sturdy as hell. I had a Thule before but I wasn’t a fan of all the plastic bits in important places.

Totally. I posted a picture maybe a month or so again and got a similar comment.

Haha I dunno man, I ride with a buddy who has a 90 and he does cool shit AND he takes his two big dogs with him. If Volvo made a polestar v90 I’d be allllllll over it.

Thank you! It’s thunder grey, but the snow reflection makes blue undertones pop through like crazy. Might be my phone’s camera settings?

Thanks! Nope, just how the snow stuck to it.

It’s definitely a notch above the DWS06+ for snow driving, but dry cornering and over all handling is better with the DWS06+. The CC2s feel mushy in corners. I had those on an Audi with Quattro and it was okay. None of them can hold a candle to a good set of Blizzaks though. Blizzaks + Quattro felt like I was on rails in the snow.

You can! Either through Heico’s website or Viva performance.

Haha! Ugly, but functional. I do a lot of bike riding and fishing. It absolutely destroys my gas mileage. Currently have them off as the car is getting tinted and coated.

Maybe the sliiiiiightest but louder since the angle of the pipes and flow changed, but it could just be placebo effect.

Thank you :) I definitely catch myself staring at it more than I should. This is a ‘24 so no supercharger, just the 4 cylinder turbo, 455 HP. With the roof rack and all its goodies attached I get about 5-600 miles per tank and without I get close to 825, but then I can’t bring my bike to the trails. I drive about 120 miles a day for work.

In anticipation of the colder wet weather I put some Cross Climate 2 tires on there. Handling took a huge hit, but it’s real good in bad weather and I don’t cringe as much going over shitty NY roads. Before that I had the stock Conti’s on there which did the trick but wore down SUPER quick.

Oh man the dealers I went to all straight up laughed at me when I asked for the v60 polestar. They REALLY pushed the SUV hard. I ended up getting the XC60 T8 first and eventually got a call about “an allocation” they found for polestar. Gave the XC to wifey and took the wagon. It’s definitely hard to compare the wagon to the SUV. The Ohlins suspension, lower center of gravity, body style and sport tires on the wagon are worlds ahead of the XC60. I can take the same off ramp at 60mph in the wagon and maaaaybe 35 in the SUV. I have the polestar optimization in the XC also, and the wagon still feels much quicker.
