Wheels and tyres
Winter tyres
Volvo recommends winter tyres of size 225/70
R16 for all XC90 cars except those seating
seven and those with T6 engines. Size 235/
65R17 is recommended for these instead.
Always use winter tyres on all four wheels!
127(Consult your Volvo dealer for advice
on which rim and tyre type you should use for
your car.
Studded tyres
Studded winter tyres should be carefully
"broken in" over a distance of 500-1000 km so
that the studs become properly positioned in the
tyre. This will provide both the tyres and studs
with a longer service life while contributing to
a quieter ride.
Remember that regulations for use of studded
tyres vary from country to country.

Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels.
127(Always use Volvo-approved snow
chains only; other snow chains can damage
your car.
Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow
chains!
Do not drive on bare roads unnecessarily as this
causes heavy wear on both snow chains and
tyres.
127(Never use "quick links" because the
space between the disc brakes and the
wheels is too small.
