Mixed Tire Sizes V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be R. Stuart on  Sun Apr 30 10:49 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Dear All,

I have a 2002 V70 FWD and recently had a back tire go over to the other side :(

The tires on the car are 195 65 15.

Is there any real issue with putting a pair of 195 60 15's from my dearly departed S70 on the back of the wagon (take the tires off the old S70 rims, and put them on the V70 rims)?

i.e., I would be running 195 65 15 on the front and 195 60 15 on the back. The difference in rolling circumfrence would be just shy of 2%

The only issue I can think of is the computer being confused by the rear wheels turning faster than the driven wheels. I don't know if this would cause a problem.

Thanks in advance,

R Stuart
