I have Nordfrost 185 65 R15 Snow tires run on my 850. Does any one know if 185 65 R15's can be run on a V70XC.
Thanks Peter

Your owner's manual has the following:

Front wheel drive: 185/65 R15 and 195/60 R15. Tire dimension
205/55 R15 and 205/50 R16 require a special type of snow chain. Chains cannot be used on front wheel drive models equipped with 205/55 R16 tires.

All Wheel Drive: Special snow chains are available for AWD models equipped with 195/65 R15 and 205/55 R16 tires.

Chains cannot be used on V 70 XC AWD models equipped with 205/65 R15 tires. Consult your Volvo retailer.

-------

So the 185s will fit.
