General information

07

Ideally, tire rotation should be done the first time after approximately 3,000 miles

(5, 000 km) and thereafter at 6,000 mile (10,000 km) intervals.

Tire rotation should only be performed if front/ rear tire wear is fairly even and tread height is above 1/16" (1.6 mm).

NOTE

Tire rotation is not included in regularly scheduled maintenance and is performed only at customer request, at additional charge.

Your Volvo retailer can also provide guidance based on your particular driving circumstan- ces.

Tread wear indicator

G020323

The tires have wear indicator strips running across or parallel to the tread. The letters TWI are printed on the side of the tire. When approximately 1/16" (1.6 mm) is left on the tread, these strips become visible and indicate that the tire should be replaced. Tires with less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread offer very poor trac- tion.

When replacing worn tires, it is recommended that the tire be identical in type (radial) and size as the one being replaced. Using a tire of the same make (manufacturer) will prevent altera- tion of the driving characteristics of the vehicle.
