2001 V70 T5 wheels/tires V70-XC70 2001

Two flats in 3 weeks, Da*n ! I didn't want these lowprofile 17" wheels/tires in the first place but, had no choice with this model. Any insights or recommendations appreciated.

    First off, congratulations on the stage 4 thing!! I've had those rims/tires for 3 years now, and you have to keep them pumped up is my opinion (no flats here). I run 34 lbs. and check weekly. However, I have snows on right now--16" rims. As you have guessed, the difference in ride comfort is major. If you are not obsessed with the flattest cornering or high speed maneuvers, why not bite the bullet and get 16"s. Tirerack.com

      Son,
      Thanks. Regrettably, you must have personal knowledge of stage IV "things".
      I would "bite the bullet" but, this one is leased. I have 16" on our '99 w/o incident.
