Re: Wheel & Tire Packages 200 91

The 185/70-14 tire for your wagon is way too small to handle the weight of that vehicle, especially as a snow tire. The correct size for the gvw of that wagon is a 205/70-14. Volvo initially used a small tire on that wagon, but that does not mean they were right. That wagon on 185's doesn't handle safely in dry conditions, let alone snow and ice. If you have ever driven a 240 with 205's on it, there is a night and day difference in handling and load capacity. The TR add displays the 2 series Volvos with 14" new steel wheels, WS-50 Blizzaks and wheel covers for $454. I'm not sure of the size they advertise, but even if were a 185, to upgrade to a 205 would increase the package only $6.00 per tire, totaling the package to $478. Then you need to add shipping. Did you talk to my son, Aaron? He's at ext 395. Give

him a call. I have an extensive knowledge of tires and suspensions but he's the best I know and I trust him.
