Wheels and tires

Snow chains, snow tires,
studded tires

Snow chains

Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with

the following restrictions:

Snow chains should be installed on front

wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow

chains.

If accessory, aftermarket or custom tires

and wheels are installed and are of a size

different than the original tires and wheels,

chains in some cases CANNOT be used.

Sufficient clearances between chains and

brakes, suspension and body components

must be maintained.

Some strap-on type chains will interfere

with brake components and therefore

CANNOT be used.

All Wheel Drive models: Snow chains

should only be installed on the front wheels.

Only chains adapted for AWD models

should be used.

Consult your Volvo retailer for additional

snow chain information.

CAUTION!

• Check local regulations regarding the use

of snow chains before installing.

• Always follow the chain manufacturer’s

installation instructions carefully. Install
chains as tightly as possible and retighten
periodically.

• Never exceed the chain manufacturer’s

specified maximum speed limit. (Under no
circumstances should you exceed 31 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.

Snow tires, studded tires

Tires for winter use:

Owners who live in or regularly commute

through areas with sustained periods of

snow or icy driving conditions are strongly

advised to fit suitable winter tires to help

retain the highest degree of traction.

It is important to install winter tires on all

four wheels to help retain traction during

cornering, braking, and accelerating. Failure

to do so could reduce traction to an unsafe

level or adversely affect handling.

Do not mix tires of different design as this

could also negatively affect overall tire road

grip.

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 tires should have

the same rotational direction throughout

their entire lifetime.

NOTE:

Please consult state or provincial

regulations restricting the use of studded

winter tires before installing such tires.

Where permitted
