Volvo XC60: wheel size and winter tyres
My Volvo XC60 has 18in wheels with 235x60 R18 tyres. I want to fit winter tyres; would you recommend the same size or should I consider 17in wheels with 235x65 R17 tyres? Would the ride be much different with the smaller size wheels?

17s with 235/65 R17s better. Will give a softer ride.
