The tires have a socalled "wear indicator" in the form of a number of narrow strips running across or parallel to the

tread. When approx. 1/16" (1.6 mm) is left on the tread, these strips become visible and indicate that the tire should be

replaced.

Tires with less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread have a very poor grip in rain or snow.

When replacing worn tires, it is recommended that the tire be identical in type (radial) and size as the one being

replaced. Using a tire of the same make (manufacturer) will prevent alteration of the driving characteristics of the

vehicle.

To improve tire economy:

· Maintain correct tire pressure. See the tire pressure label on the inside of the fuel tank cover.

· Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire screeching.

· Tire wear increases with speed.

· Correct front wheel alignment is very important.

· Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort.

· If the wheels are rotated, they should be kept on the same side of the car so that they revolve in the same direction as

prior to rotation.

· Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently.

Flat spots

All tires become warm during use. After cooling, when the vehicle is parked, the tires have a tendency to distort

slightly, forming flat spots. These flat spots can cause vibrations similar to the vibrations caused by unbalanced wheels.

They do, however, disappear when the tire warms up. The degree to which flat spots form depends on the type of cord

used in the tire. Remember that, in cold weather, it takes longer for the tire to warm up and consequently longer for the

flat spot to disappear.

CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that

came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission *.

* This also applies to models equipped with All Wheel Drive (AWD)

Snow chains

Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions:

and wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT be used. Sufficient clearances between chains and brakes, suspension and
