THE BEST TIRES FOR YOUR VOLVO
Volvo Sizes Up Their Tires DOWNLOAD BROCHURE > | Caring for Your Tires Inflate Check your tire pressure every month andbefore long journeys to prevent safety and performance issues. Underinflation reduces fuel efficiency and causes uneven wear on the tire's outside edges, increasing the risk of a failure or blowout. Overinflation causes more wear to the center and can cause the tire to separate from the belt. Overinflation also causes harsh ride and poor handling. Inspect As a tire's tread wears down, its ability to provide traction and prevent hydroplaning diminishes. Tread depth is measured in 32nds of an inch. New tires generally start with a 10/32" tread, and 2/32" is the minimum legal tread depth in most states. If you don't know the condition of your tires, have them checked by your Volvo retailer. A multi-point inspection conducted by a Volvo service advisor will identify remaining tread depth and any damage or inflation issues that could compromise your vehicle. Replace When it's time to replace your tires, visit your Volvo retailer. Your service advisor will find the right tires for you and your Volvo, and expertly trained Volvo technicians will install them properly. |
