2003 V70 fwd Tires

Post by Peteh1 »

I have a new set of 4 tires from my old 850, can I use them on my just acquired 2003 v70 base wagon, Volvo asks for 195/65/r15's I want to use 195/60/r15, is this okay or could there be transmission damage caused by the different profile ?
Thanks, Pete :?:

No problems to use the 60/15 tires, as long as you're replacing all 4 of them. The speedometer will show 65mph instead of 63mph real speed.
