I had to wait about 6 weeks to get my tires. There was another dealer nearby but they wanted about $30 more per tire, but since they didn't charge extra for anything, while the dealer I used charged for everything, including air, they would have actually turned out to be cheaper in the long run. So make sure that whomever sells you tires includes dis-mount, mount, valve stems (seems the Volvo wheels have rather large valve stem holes and will not accept a standard rubber valve stem. I had to use high pressure, chrome valve stems @ $4.95 each. These look better on my silver rims anyway) dynamic balance and disposal plus what ever taxes there are. I also added "Volvo" valve stem caps that I bought at the local Volvo dealer.
I have Kumho (an unfortunate name when pronounced in Eubonics) on my wagon but now that I see the difference between those and Vredesteins I would not buy them again.

Also I should say that if you were to use the Vredesteins in the size I suggested on your spare it will NOT fit into the well in the trunk-too wide.
