2003 VOLVO XC70
Volvo recommends 195/65 R15 snow tires on non-turbo models. Turbo models should be equipped
with 205/55 R16 snow tires on all four wheels (215/65 R16 tires should be used on the XC70).
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. 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 provincial regulations restricting the use of studded winter tires before
installing such tires.
* Where permitted.

Checking and correcting tire pressure
●
Check the tire pressure regularly.
●
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.
