This limey disagrees -
I learnt all I know about XC70s from this forum years ago.
What is said above applied to the very early V70XC with a viscous coupling - you couldn't even tow the car....
That all ended when Volvo started using the Haldex transmission. Tyre circumferences have not been critical in any XCxx from MY2003 onwards.
Mechanically the car can cope, whether or not that's desirable - I couldn't possibly comment....
I've driven lots of miles on the 'skinny' spare wheel and a 'knobbly' all terrain tyre with no side effects (apart from the noise).
Perhaps folks do things differently on your side of the pond.

Mine: XC 70 Sport 2009 D5 Inscription Electric Blue.
VNS, DSTC and 4C, BLIS, LDW ventilated leather ACC; Yummy.
All gone now - XC70 MY 13 SE LUX Flamenco red - goes better than the '09 even with its "Polestar plus" upgrade. I justy miss the PCC...
Hers: V60 Flamenco Red 215HP D5 (like above XC70 spec)
