Tyres

[bungle]

Hi, I have the pleasure of driving a volvo 340 at the moment, at the moment it has 155/80/13's on the back and i find they have little grip in the wet, would it be possible to fit 175/70/13's as I would like a bit more grip.

Thanks

do belive those are what i have on atm, but am struggling to find any more my last one i got was a partworn.

but these damn 13's are way to skinny for me..

Should be no problem - the 175 wide tyres were fitted to the same rims

You really sure on that... esp on later cars, 155's had the trademark 300 rims with 5 sets of double cuts, and 175's had plain steels with full size hubs caps

Yep, I know that in 1982 DL's had 155's and GL's had 175's on the same rims. Doubt they'd change the wheels for such a small increase in width on the later models... Surely early Mk3 360's (I'm thinking GL's) had 175's on them double 5 cut rims?

so will they fit??

yes they will fit but i have 185/60-14 on mine and grip in wet is still hard to find but its fun to drift in the wet tho

I used to run on 185/60 13's with std steel wheel. They did make quite an improvment.
