I agree. It would be unfair if you had to pay for the spring and tires as well. I did have such a spring fail on an Acura Legend but the spring did not collapse and jam the tire. I would have expected the suspension to sag but with the broken spring, being concentric with the strut, to stay reasonably in position and not be forced into the tire. It must have been catastrophic which seems unusual especially when you were hardly moving, not that I am a suspension expert. Mind you, if Volvo does show pity, they probably will only "spring" for prorated replacement of OEM cost tires. I hope you have success with Volvo.
