• 1,000 miles in and I have a screw straight through the front passenger tyre and my tyre pressure warning system is lit up. Screw is a Philips and looks to be about an M6 size, so the fact that it's a screw and not a nail means it's not going to form a decent seal and will now always leak air, and that size means if it comes out the hole isn't huge but definitely isn't small.

    New tyre time for the Volvo V60:

    • Pirelli P Zero PZ4 245/35 R20

    On the Pirelli site I couldn't look up the V60 Polestar, but a V60 T6 claims to be this tyre: https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-gb/car/catalogue/product/p-zero/245_35-r20?ipcode=2490400

    • 245/35ZR20 (95Y) XL

    When faced with minor variations in the OE tyres... does it matter to match them with the existing?

    There are 4 that match, with features like extra load carrying, noise reducing and reinforced sides... not helpful.

    This is what the tyre shows (also not helpful as I couldn't match any of this to the standard tyre info):

  • I had exactly the same issue with a screw this week. £10 to fix in a local tyre shop - plug and play! Lol
