Thanks Gavin
Out of curiosity would 60 profile cause a problem? (205 x 60 x 16) Thanks |

Actually, just priced the 60 profile - will go with 55!
Another Q I'm afraid, load rating, 91 or 94? Car tends to be used for family/dogs/collecting/dumping/tow car etc so thinking 94 and (using Michelin spec) XL for extra load. |

Your tyre fitter should know, unless you go to one of the national scam chains, that the tyres should be fitted from the inner side of Galaxies. Originally there would have been a sticker somewhere inside the wheel but this is likely to be long gone especially if your wheels have been refurbed.

Why? Is that just because of the position of the well in the wheel rim

I dont know, but I think it may be something to do with the deep-dish styling. I have just always gone by what it says in the original Volvo accessories catalogue. See page 9.
