Does anybody know if you can put 195 65 R15 tires on a 850 wagon ?
I know the speedometer may be off a few percent!
Are there concerns about wheel clearances or handling ?
Anybody done this ?

    I've got 205-60-15 Yokohama ES100s on my wagon. I like having the extra load capacity afforded by bigger tires. no scraping problems.

    I just put some 195-65-15 tires on a 1997 850 GLT sedan, and
    drove coast to coast and back without any problems. You should
    also consider using 205-60-15 tires for better braking and more
    traction. Volvo skimps on the rubber to make a few more bucks on
    each vehicle they sell.
