So after some great advice on here I am going ahead with buying a set of 18" or 19" wheels with winter tyres.

18" £1150, 19" £1400. 'Great' says I.

'Ah' says Volvo, 'you will need a software update each time you change the wheels which costs £52.50'. So another £100 per year in running costs

The circumference of my current wheels is 236cm, the 18" = 232cm and the 19" = 233cm. Each of those will vary by up to 5cm as the tyres wear.

So my question is, is the software reset just the slight change in circumference and so I can just ignore it or is there something I am missing?

(I have asked Volvo who have yet to fully explain...)
