I know this subject has been kicked around and that Volvo's recommended snow tire size is 185/65-15. I just bought a used (74,000 mi) '94 Turbo Wagon (my first FWD after almost 30 years of 240's and 740's). The tire sticker calls for 205/55-15's so this car was delivered with 15 inch wheels. I have an good set of 205/60-15 snow tires (less than 5000 mi) from my soon to be retired '87 245 that I would like to use on my 850. The rolling radius of the 205/60's is only 8/10's of 1% greater than the 185/65's based on numbers from the manufacturers. Has any one else used 205/60-15's on an 850 and did you have any problems. Thanks!
