Default Tire Ratings S40

Hi,

I am sure this isn't the first posting of its kind....but I have a 2005 S40 base model....

I am shopping new tires... need 205/55/R16s.... but my question comes w/ the Speed/weight rating 91Vs are what I have now.....

DO I HAVE TO STAY W/ "Vs" ?? and more importantly....how bout the weight rating....can I go to a 90 or 89?? or does the weight of the volvo S40 dictate that I stay w/ a 91?

Called my local guys and they gave me the party line...whatever your car has now is what we will want you to stay with (so there is no liability).

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Tim

Default RE: Tire Ratings S40

I would try and keep the numbers the same.
Speed rating: I would stay within or above H,V.
Weight: LowestI would go is 90.
