The Little Engine That Could 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Wayne on  Wed Apr 17 05:50 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have the standard 30 some odd spoke alloys that came with the car. The standard tire size is 195-60 15. I moved up a little to 205-55 15 because I wanted a little better handling. If I recall correctly, the difference in diameter equates to a 1.4% difference in the speedometer. I have read that others have gone to 205-60 15 to get a slighly taller sidewall and better ride. If I was in the market for alloys I would probably buy a Volvo set from somebody looking to upgrade. But that's me- I would want to maintain a stock look to the car.
