Hello All,

I have been running 205/60-15's on my S70 since the factory 195's. They ride, handle, and support the vehicle weight far better than the original 195's. I would like to step up one more size to a 215. "Usually" two sizes up is not a problem, but I know the Volvo wheel wells fit a bit close.

I remember reading about 7 years ago, some of you were running 215/60-15's, but I cannot remember if you had any clearance/rubbing issues. I think I vaguely remember some minor rubbing at the extreme turning radius, but that was it. If any of you are still out there, please chime in and refresh my memory. I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Rich
Apex, NC

PS. I did attempt searching for those older post on the website, but no luck. Is there an archive anywhere I may be overlooking?
