I thought 235/60/18 was the recommended tyre size for the XC90, is this wrong?

I have pirelli p zero rosso's all round on mine (255 50 19s), but will change them for winter, but can't decide on winter tyres or true 4 x 4 off road tyres...
No other reason than I got them cheap. And yes I love the way they look.
I've read a lot of reviews about them and they're all good.

Yes, thats correct, the AT2's I've fitted are 20mm wider but have a minimal effect on the speedo, about 0.2% according to the tyre app on my phone ...

I think the standard tyre size on the 90 is 235 65 17. But mine is the R-Design, with the 19" wheels, tyre size on which is 255 50 19.

Concidering I'm retired, I was back onsite again today, helping out a friend.

On the plus side, the rain we've had over the past few days turned the site into a mud bath and gave me the opportunity to try out the AT2's. Have to admit I really enjoyed it ...
