Winter tyres

Winter tyres are adapted for winter road con-
ditions.
Volvo recommends winter tyres with particu-
lar dimensions. Tyre dimensions are depend-
ent on engine variant. When driving on winter
tyres, the correct type of tyres must be fitted
to all four wheels.
Tips for changing to winter tyres
When summer and winter wheels are
changed, mark which side of the car they were
mounted on, for example L for left and R for
right.
Contact a Volvo dealer for advice on which rim
and tyre type suit your car best.
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be run in gently
for 500-1000 km (300-600 miles), so the
studs settle properly into the tyres. This gives
the tyre, and especially the studs, a longer
service life.
NOTE
Laws regarding the use of studded tyres
may vary. Always follow local laws and
regulations.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-
peratures place considerably higher demands

on tyres than summer conditions. Volvo there-
fore recommends not to drive on winter tyres
that have a tread depth of less than 4 mm
(0.15 inches).
