I am trying to find out if a 225/45R17 will substitute for a 205/50R17 on a 2007 S40 T5 AWD. The local dealer can't tell me. Anyone know?

I have a 2001 S40 and it just run over 40K miles. I don't remember if the tires were 35K or 50K. There is no mentioning in the manual. Does anyone know how to find out? Thanks!

Replying to: cheerful (Sep 13, 2008 5:42 pm) Tires don't have an expiration date or expiration miles. A lot depends on driving habits, weather, tire pressure, vehicle weight and performance. If the tread is below 4/32's or the sidewalls look worn down, or there is a lot of cracking in the tire, it's time to change them. |

I've read different numbers from 1/16 to 3/16 inch or 1.5 mm to 3.5mm. What's the right number? Thanks!

The stock size is 215-50-R16. Is there a 60 series profile that would fit the 2004 S40? I would like to increase ride height by at least 1" and don't want clearance issues from wheel cowl area to tire.

Replying to: mike123 (Mar 16, 2009 4:35 pm) What is it you are trying to do? Increase ride comfort? Or pretend to be an SUV? If the former, you could try to increase sidewall height slightly, but you could also try lower tire pressure and tires with softer sidewalls.
