Have you checked with Volvo Dealers?

Not to cause a brand ruckus, but both Saab and Volvo previously offered Gislaved tires thru their Dealership network for winter driving. Saab no longer does but Volvo may still sell them.
Two other comments:
1) Is the wheel with the shredded tire still straight and true?
2) As a general rule of themb, you shou always put the best winter tires on the rear of the car to prevent oversteer. That being said, if the tires are very close to the same tread depth I will place the best ones on the front as they wear faster in that position and soon are equal to or less than the tires on the rear.
