Default New here with a tire question.

Hi guys. I am new here and I love my Volvo V70.

I am looking for some tires and am running 16" now.
I am running 205/55/16 now
Would it be ok to run 215/40R16 all around?

Here is a pic of my car

Looks like you put the wrong current size 14??? You shouldn't run profiles that low on the same size wheels, it will throw your speedo off. Also, take it from a guy that is running 45's, don't do it. It makes the ride rough and I ALWAYS have sidewall damage from damaged streets.

If you want to go low, like 40's or 45's you will need to up the wheel size. Go with 17" or 18" wheels. Looks like you may have the cash to roll with it.
