Re: Don't like low profile want bigger sidewall can I go with 17 inch rim and bigger sidewall

By the book the PSI is supposed to be 38 and you think I could go to 32 or 34? Maybe a bit softer ride and no I don't have a temp gun. I think my son has one. What temp thresholds should I be looking for?


I wouldn’t worry about the 0.1 difference. Even airing down to 34 or 32 psi you likely wont ...

Re: Don't like low profile want bigger sidewall can I go with 17 inch rim and bigger sidewall

I should have researched this car before buying it. Personally at my age I don't need brakes that stop me quick after I was flying fast. All for braking power but ????? Then there is the low profile tires. That is the biggie. Roads are terrible and the dealer says they do a lot of work on cracked ...

Re: Don't like low profile want bigger sidewall can I go with 17 inch rim and bigger sidewall

They are being idiots. This car, in the manual, discussing having different sized wheels, different sized tires. So if the idiot says he can only do wheels, then "pretend" my car had a 17 inch wheel with a 235/45/17 and tell the computer to program for a 235/45/18. Computers only know what you plug ...

Re: Don't like low profile want bigger sidewall can I go with 17 inch rim and bigger sidewall

I got my manual out to see what tires and wheels can be fitted on the 2016 V60. Because my car has the brakes/calipers of a Polestar I can'g go down under 18 inch wheels.

But for all 2016 V60's choices are as follows:

235/45/17 (36 PSI)
215/50/17 (38 PSI)
235/40/18 (38 PSI)
235/45/18 (38 PSI)
235 ...

Don't like low profile want bigger sidewall can I go with 17 inch rim and bigger sidewall

When we first got our 2016 V60 my wife had no medical problems but she does now and the low profile tires increase her pain. Every bump and pot hole, which there are many, are not fun. So I am thinking of going to 215 50 17. I don't care if the wheels don't look cool, or wonderful or what ever. In ...

IS 2015 cross country cargo bigger than non-cross

Several years ago when we were car shopping, we test drove a 2015 V60 Cross Country and also a 2015 non-cross country V60. I swear that the sales person at that time told us the Cross Country had a bit more cargo space. We ended up with the non-cross country which it turns out was the wrong car for ...

Re: 2016 V60 - anyone notice a lower quality

This may be my last Volvo.

Very soon after purchasing the car, there was a lot of misinformation on the original CPO and a lot of doubt about the CPO inspection. Volvo USA helped out a lot.

So here's the estimate from the dealer - keep in mind this car only has 37,000 miles on it and the steering ...

2016 V60 - anyone notice a lower quality

This is my 4th Volvo but I am not impressed. My one Volvo, the S60 had 225,000 miles on it when I sold it and it was in 99% perfect condition.

The V50 was sold with about 112,000 mile on it and also in almost perfect condition.

The P544 - well that was another story but a fun car.

My current 2016 ...

Re: Will this tire work

Yes the speedo will be off.

The twin of my V60 is the Cross Country V60, which comes with a 235/50/18 as a standard tire and I'm wondering if a computer update would sync the speedo?
Rattnalle wrote: 22 Jan 2020, 15:28 Probably, except the speedometer will be a bit of. Fitting 17" rims is probably a better option.
