Will steel wheels # 9157507, 6.5J x 15 fit on my 1996 850?? I don't think my low profile 16 inch wheels will be too happy in the snow and slush.

    From your oqner's manual:

    Tires for winter use:
    Owners who live in or regularly commute through areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving conditions are strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires to help retain the highest degree of traction.
    It is important to install winter tires on all four wheels to help retain traction during cornering, braking and accelerating. Failure to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe level or adversely affect handling. Do not mix tires of different design as this could also negatively affect overall tire road grip. Volvo recommends 185/65 R15 winter tires on 15" wheels on all 850 models including models equipped with 16" or 17" wheels.



    Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in warm weather. They should be removed when the winter driving season has ended.



    Studded tires should be run-in 300-600 miles (500-1000 km) during which the car should be driven as smoothly as possible to give the studs the opportunity to seat properly in the tires. The car tires should have the same rotational direction throughout their entire lifetime. In other words, if you wish to rotate the wheels, make sure that the same wheels are always on the same side of the car.
