07 Wheels and tires

General information

270

Introduction

Your vehicle is equipped with tires according

to the vehicle's tire information placard on the

B-pillar (the structural member at the side of

the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door

opening).

CAUTION

Some Volvo models are equipped with an

Ultra High Performance tire and wheel com-

bination designed to provide maximum dry

pavement performance with consideration

for hydroplaning resistance. They may be

more susceptible to road hazard damage

and, depending on driving conditions, may

achieve a tread life of less than 20,000 miles

(30,000 km). Even if this vehicle is equipped

with Volvo’s advanced AWD or DSTC sys-

tem, these tires are not designed for winter

driving, and should be replaced with winter

tires when weather conditions dictate.

The tires have good road holding characteris-

tics and offer good handling on dry and wet

surfaces. It should be noted however that the

tires have been developed to give these fea-

tures on snow/ice-free surfaces.

Most models are equipped with "all-season"

tires, which provide a somewhat higher degree

of road holding on slippery surfaces than tires

without the "all-season" rating. However, for

optimum road holding on icy or snow-covered

roads, we recommend suitable winter tires on

all four wheels.

When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires

are the same size designation, type (radial) and

preferably from the same manufacturer, on all

four wheels. Otherwise there is a risk of altering

the car's roadholding and handling characte-

ristics.

New Tires

Remember that tires are perishable goods. As

of 2000, the manufacturing week and year

(Department of Transportation (DOT) stamp)

will be indicated with 4 digits (e.g., 1510 means

that the tire illustrated was manufactured dur-

ing week 15 of 2010).

Tire age

Tires degrade over time, even when they are

not being used. It is recommended that tires

generally be replaced after 6 years of normal

service. Heat caused by hot climates, frequent

high loading conditions or Ultra Violet (U.V.)

exposure can accelerate the aging process.

The temporary spare

should also be replaced

at 6-year intervals, even if it has never been

used.

A tire's age can be determined by the DOT

stamp on the sidewall (see the illustration).

A tire with e.g., visible cracks or discoloration

should be replaced immediately.

Improving tire economy

•

Maintain correct tire pressure. See the tire

inflation tables beginning on page 275.

•

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.

•

Tires must maintain the same direction of

rotation throughout their lifetime.
