chain information.
CAUTION:
●
Check local regulations regarding the use of
snow chains before installing.
●
Always follow the chains manufacturer's
installation instructions carefully. Install
chains as tightly as possible and re-tighten
periodically.
●
Never exceed the chain manufacture's
specified maximum speed limit. (Under no
circumstances should that limit be higher than
30 mph (50 km/h).
●
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when
driving with snow chains.
●
The handling of the vehicle can be adversely
affected when driving with chains. Avoid fast
or sharp turns as well as locked wheel braking.
Winter tires wear more quickly on dry roads in
warm weather. They should be removed when the
winter driving season has ended.
Studded tires should be run-in 300-600 miles
(500-1000 km) during which the car should be
driven as smoothly as possible to give the studs
the opportunity to seat properly in the tires. The
car tires should have the same rotational direction
throughout their entire lifetime. In other words, if
you wish to rotate the wheels, make sure that the
same wheels are always on the same side of the
car.
NOTE: Please consult state or local regulations
restricting the use of studded winter tires before
installing such tires.
WARNING! Special wheel rims for air dams
Only special wheel rims, tested and approved
by Volvo, are suitable for use with the air dam
installed on the S90/V90.
*Where permitted.

Checking and correcting tire

Check the tire pressure when refueling.
The tire pressure should be corrected only when
the tires are cold. With warm tires, correct only
when the pressure is too low. The tire temperature
rises after driving just a few miles.
Vehicle Loading
The tires on your Volvo will perform to
specifications at all normal loads when inflated as
