Different Tyre Sizes F & R
My latest V70 (2008 2.4D) has two different tyre sizes.
215/55 R17 on the rear and 225/50R17 on the front. Is there any benefit to having 2 different sizes? I’m wanting to get new tyres. All matched. I think the 225/50 R17 is the manufacturer fitted size for my model? Ta |

The burning question is "Why does it have different tyre sizes fitted and who did it?"
