Comparing the manuals for the V60 and the V60CC, I am totally confused. All of the tires for the V60 are "extra load" while the V60CC has "extra load" only on the 19' tire.

The V60 manual allows 235/40/18 OR 235/45/18 even though the 45 decreases the speedometer by 2.5 mph and increases the sidewall height by 1/2 inch.

The 215/50/17 leaves the speedometer unchanged, but the sidewall height is only increased by 1/2 inch.

The reason the V60CC tires are 'larger' is because the suspension is different, along with the wheel height. I would also surmise the turning radius is larger for the CC due to the larger tires.
