You can't fit a 17 inch tyre to your 18 inch wheels.

weren't the 225 50 17 fitted to the earlier P2 xc70. should be 235 55 17 on P3 (or 18" equivalent)

According to VIDA, the size is different based on the brand of tyre.

I have 235/55R17 on mine

See attached :-

What size is printed on the black info label on the driver's door sill? It should state the size(s) fitted/available on your car when it was supplied.

Here's a photo of the one on my V70 showing my tyre size is 245/40R18 (the 17" one is the runflat):

Apologies fgor "dragging up" this thread again...

I seem to be experiencing problems buying tyres.

Was informed at a recent interim service that the rear nearside tyre had a small split in the groove (see attached pic). Quite gutted really, as rear tyres have 6mm of tread and fronts have 5mm of tread!

Questions are:

- judging by the the pic of the split attached - would this warrant replacement right away?

- I usually go for Pirelli Verde All Seasons (235/55/R17 V M+S). They work well for me...but NOWHERE in the UK seems to have them (that I can find) in the size/spec I need. Have Pirelli superseded the " Scoprion Verde All Seasons" with the Pirelli "Cinturato All Season SF 2" or something?

Seems that Michelin Cross-Climates 2 are hard to come by too!

Any help much appreciated!
