Tyre size confusion
I need to get some new tyres for my 480 as the current ones are cracked due to it being stood for months on end at my parents house.
I'm a bit confused with the Volvo handbook. It states two different tyre sizes. 1) 185/60/R14 2) 185/65/R14 The ones that are on at the moment have the 65 profile. Why are the two options and what would the different be if i opted to get new ones with the 60 profile instead? |

Your speedo will read a little faster, maybe.

With the 65 ones, the diameter of the wheel+tyre will be more. But my millimetres.
