Changing a wheel – direction of
rotation
Incorrectly mounted tires impair the car's braking
properties and ability to force aside rain, snow
and slush.
Summer and winter tires
G021778
The arrows shows the direction of rotation of the tire
•
The tires with the most tread should always
be on the rear axle (to help reduce the risk of
skidding).
•
When switching between summer and winter
tires, mark the tires to indicate where they
were mounted on the car, e.g., LF = left front,
RR = right rear
•
Tires with tread designed to roll in only one
direction are marked with an arrow on the
sidewall.
•
Contact a Volvo workshop if you are unsure
about the tread depth.
