Volvo recommends that you drive to the near-
est authorised Volvo workshop for the replace-
ment/repair of the damaged tyre. Advise the
workshop that the tyre contains sealing fluid.

You should not drive faster than80 km/h
after the emergency tyre repair kit has been
used. Volvo recommends that you visit an
authorised Volvo workshop for inspection of
the sealed tyre (maximum driving distance
is 200 km). The staff there can determine
whether or not the tyre can be repaired or if
it needs to be replaced.

Specifications

The dimensions are stated on all car tyres.
Example of designation:
225 Section width (mm)
50 Ratio between section height and
width (%)
R Radial ply
17 Rim diameter in inches (")
98 Tyre load index
W Speed rating for maximum permitted

Speed ratings
The car is approved as a whole, which means
that tyre dimensions and speed ratings must
not differ from those specified on the car's reg-
istration document.
The only exception to these conditions is win-
ter tyres (both those with metal studs and those
without). If such a tyre is chosen, the car must
not be driven faster than the speed rating of the
tyre (for example, class Q can be driven at a
maximum of 160 km/h).
Traffic regulations determine how fast a car
can be driven, not the speed rating of the tyres.
Q 160 km/h (used only on winter tyres)
T 190 km/h
H 210 km/h
V 240 km/h
W 270 km/h
Y 300 km/h
