upgrading the tires size on my S70

Mr.James- it depends on what you are looking to do: u want a harsher ride, get 50 series tires; a better grip, get better(AKA ultra performance) tires in a bit wider profile(like 215 or 225). But if I were u, to compleatly improve the ride, get bigger&wider rims and the best tires. Eg. some 17x8(don't forget the right OFFSET:38-42)rims with 215/45/17s rubber. Unless your car have the sport suspension, the car may be a bit high, but it evens out if you carry people and stuff in you car frequently. And don't worry. lots of folks with the regular alloys are waiting to buy your "swept" style T5 rims to upgrade their look. Be different! BD
