IMPORTANT
• The wheel bolts must be tightened to
140 Nm. (103 foot-pound). Overtighten-
ing or loose tightening may damage
the nuts and the bolts.
• Remember not to use bending force
when you loosen/tighten the wheel
bolts. This could damage the code
groove in the lock bolt and the wheel
wrench and so make it impossible to
fit/remove the wheel.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres are adapted for winter road condi-
tions.
Polestar recommends winter tyres with particu-
lar dimensions. Tyre dimensions are dependent
on engine variant. When driving on winter tyres,
the correct type of tyres must be fitted to all four
wheels.
Contact Polestar Support for advice on the most
suitable rims and tyre types to use.
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.
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.
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low temper-
atures place considerably higher demands on
tyres than summer conditions. Polestar there-
fore recommends not to drive on winter tyres
that have a tread depth of less than 4 mm
(0.15 inches).
