Wheels and tires for your Volvo XC60 2017-2026

The function of the tires is to carry loads, pro-

vide traction on road surfaces, reduce vibra-

tions and protect the wheels from wear.

The tires significantly influence the vehicle's

driving characteristics. The type, dimensions,

tire pressure and speed rating have a consid-

erable impact on how the vehicle performs.

Some Volvo models are equipped with an

Ultra High Performance tire and wheel

combination designed to provide maxi-

mum dry pavement performance with con-

sideration for hydroplaning resistance.

They may be more susceptible to road haz-

ard damage and, depending on driving

conditions, may achieve a tread life of less

than 30,000 km (20,000 miles). Even if

this vehicle is equipped with Volvo's

advanced AWD or stability system, these

tires are not designed for winter driving,

and should be replaced with winter tires

when weather conditions dictate.

Recommended tires

On delivery, the car is equipped with Volvo

original tires that have the VOL¹marking on

the side of the tires. These tires have been

designed specifically for your vehicle. It is

therefore important when replacing tires that

the new tires have this same marking to help

maintain the vehicle's driving characteristics,

comfort and fuel consumption.

Your vehicle is equipped with tires according

to the vehicle's tire information placard on the

B-pillar (the structural member at the side of

the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door

opening).

WARNING

A damaged tire could cause the driver to

lose control of the vehicle.

New tires

The tires have good road holding characteris-

tics and offer good handling on dry and wet

surfaces. It should be noted however that the

tires have been developed to give these fea-

tures on snow/ice-free surfaces.

Most models are equipped with "all-season"

tires, which provide a somewhat higher

degree of roadholding on slippery road surfa-

ces than tires without the "all-season" rating.

However, for optimal roadholding on icy or

snow-covered roads, Volvo recommends

snow tires on all four wheels.

WHEELS AND TIRES

Tires are perishable goods. After a few years,

they will begin to harden and their friction

properties will gradually deteriorate. Always

replace tires with the freshest tires possible.

This is particularly important for snow tires. A

series of numbers is imprinted on the sidewall

of the tire. The last four digits in the series is

the Department of Transportation (DOT)

stamp and indicates the week and year the

tire was manufactured. The tire in the illustra-

tion has 0717 as the last four digits, which

means it was manufactured week 7 of 2017.

Correct front wheel alignment is very

important.

authorized Volvo workshop. If significant dif-

ferences in wear (> 1 mm difference in tread

depth) between the tires have already occur-

red, the least worn tires should always be

mounted on the rear wheels. A front-wheel

skid (understeer) is usually easier to control

than a rear-wheel skid (oversteer). If the front

wheels skid, the vehicle will continue in a

straight line instead of the rear wheels skid-

ding to the side, which could cause you to

completely lose control of the vehicle. It is

therefore important that the rear wheels never

lose grip before the front wheels.

•

Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy

and driving comfort.

Tires must maintain the same direction of

rotation throughout their lifetime.

When replacing tires, the tires with the

most tread should be mounted on the rear

wheels to reduce the chance of oversteer

during hard braking.

Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the

tires and/or wheels permanently.

•

Tire age

Storing wheels and tires

Tires degrade over time, even when they are

not being used. It is recommended that tires

generally be replaced after 6 years of normal

service. Heat caused by hot climates, frequent

high loading conditions or Ultra Violet (U.V.)

exposure can accelerate the aging process.

The temporary spare ²should also be replaced

at 6-year intervals, even if it has never been

used. A tire with e.g., visible cracks or discol-

oration should be replaced immediately.

Tire rotation

When storing complete wheels (tires mounted

on rims), they should be suspended off the

floor or placed on their sides on the floor.

Your vehicle has no required tire rotation. Driv-

ing style, tire pressure, climate and road con-

ditions affect how quickly the tires age and

exhibit signs of wear. Maintaining the correct

tire pressure helps keep tread wear evenly dis-

tributed.

Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on

their sides or standing upright, but should not

be suspended.

To help prevent differences in tread depth and

wear patterns forming on the tires, the front

and rear wheels should be rotated, i.e. the

front tires moved to the rear and the rear tires

moved to the front. Ideally, tire rotation should

be done the first time after approximately

5000 km (ca 3100 miles) and thereafter at

10,000 km (approx. 6200 miles) intervals.

Tires should preferably be stored in a cool,

dry, dark place, and should never be stored

in close proximity to solvents, gasoline,

oils, etc.

Avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire

screeching.

Speed Symbol

A tire's Speed Symbol (SS) indicates the maxi-

mum speed for which the tire has been certi-

fied and should be at least equivalent to the

vehicle's top speed.

Any damage caused by installation of

unapproved wheel/tire size combina-

tions will not be covered by your new

vehicle warranty. Volvo assumes no

responsibility for death, injury, or

expenses that may result from such

installations.

Winter tires, with or without studs, are excep-

tions and may use a lower SS. When winter

tires are installed, the vehicle may not be

driven faster than the tires' SS.

The vehicle's speed should always be deter-

mined by the posted speed limit and traffic

and road conditions, not the tire's SS.

ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST

CONFORM TO FEDERAL SAFETY

REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION TO THESE

GRADES.

The traction grade assigned to this tire is

based on braking (straight-ahead) traction

tests and is not a measure of cornering

(turning) traction.

•

Quality grades can be found, where applica-

ble, on the tire sidewall between the tread

shoulder and maximum section width. For

example:

TEMPERATURE

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B,

and C, representing the tire's resistance to the

generation of heat and its ability to dissipate

heat when tested under controlled conditions

on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the

material of the tire to degenerate and reduce

tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to

sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds

to a minimum level of performance that all

passenger vehicle tires must meet under the

Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109.

Grades B and A represent higher levels of per-

formance on the laboratory test wheel than

the minimum required by law.

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

TREADWEAR

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating

based on the wear rate of the tire when tested

under controlled conditions on a specified

government test course. For example, a tire

graded 150 would wear one and one half (1 ½)

times as well on the government course as a

tire graded 100. The relative performance of

tires depends upon the actual conditions of

their use, however, and many depart signifi-

cantly from the norm due to variation in driving

habits, maintenance practices and differences

in road characteristics and climate.

WARNING

TRACTION

The temperature grade for this tire is estab-

lished for a tire that is properly inflated and

not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-

inflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-

rately or in combination, can cause heat

buildup and tire failure.

The traction grades, from highest to lowest,

are AA, A, B, and C, as measured under con-

trolled conditions on specified government

test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire

marked C may have poor traction perform-

ance.

Checking tire pressure

WARNING

Correct inflation pressure helps improve driv-

ing stability, save fuel and increase the serv-

ice life of the tires.

Tire pressure decreases over time, which is

normal. Tire pressure also varies depending on

the ambient temperature. Driving on under-

inflated tires could cause the vehicle to over-

heat and lead to damage. Tire pressure affects

traveling comfort, road noise and driving cha-

racteristics.

Under-inflation is the most common

cause of tire failure and may result in

severe tire cracking, tread separation,

or "blow-out," with unexpected loss of

vehicle control and increased risk of

injury.

•

If you check inflation pressure when the tires

are warm, you should never release air. The

tires become warm after driving and it is nor-

mal for warm tires to have an inflation pres-

sure above the recommended pressure for

cold tires. A warm tire with an inflation pres-

sure equal to or under the recommended pres-

sure for cold tires could be significantly under-

inflated.

Under-inflated tires reduce the load

carrying capacity of your vehicle.

Cold tires

Check the pressure in the tires every month.

Use the recommended inflation pressure for

cold tires to help maintain good tire perform-

ance. Under-inflated or over-inflated tires

could cause uneven tread wear.

Related information

Inflation pressure should be checked when the

tires are cold. The tires are considered to be

cold when they have the same temperature as

the surrounding (ambient) air. This tempera-

ture is normally reached after the vehicle has

been parked for at least 3 hours.

Adjusting tire pressure (p. 524)

•

Tire pressure monitoring system *

(p. 525)

Use an air pressure gauge and check the infla-

tion pressure on all the tires, including the

spare tire⁴, at least once a month and before

long trips. Volvo recommends buying a relia-

ble air pressure gauge, as the automatic

gauges provided at service stations may be

inaccurate.

•

After driving for approximately 1.6 km (1 mile),

the tires are considered to be warm. If you

need to drive longer than that to inflate the

tires, check and record the inflation pressure

of the tires first and inflate accordingly when

you arrive at the pump.

When the ambient temperature changes, so

does the inflation pressure. A 10-degree tem-

perature drop causes a corresponding drop in

inflation pressure of 1 psi (7 kPa). Check the

inflation pressure of the tires regularly and

adjust to the correct pressure, which can be

3. Screw the valve cap back on.

Adjusting tire pressure

Tire pressure decreases over time, which is

normal. The tire pressure must therefore be

adjusted to maintain the recommended tire

pressure.

Use the recommended inflation pressure for

cold tires to help maintain good tire perform-

ance and even wear.

If you have overfilled the tire, release air by

pushing on the metal stem in the center of

the valve. Then recheck the pressure with

your tire gauge.

After inflating a tire, always replace the

valve cap to help prevent valve damage

caused by gravel, dirt, etc.

•

Some spare tires require higher inflation

pressure than the other tires. Consult the

tire inflation pressure table or the inflation

pressure decal.

Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps

could corrode and become difficult to

remove.

To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure,

pressure should be checked when the tires

are cold. The tires are considered to be

cold when they have reached the same

temperature as the ambient temperature

(about 3 hours after the vehicle was last

driven). After driving for a few kilometers,

the tires will warm up and the pressure will

increase.

4. Visually inspect the tire to make sure there

are no nails or other embedded objects

that could puncture the tire and cause air

leakage.

This symbol illuminates to indicate

low inflation pressure.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has

been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring

system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire

pressure telltale when one or more of your

tires is significantly under-inflated. Accord-

ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi-

nates, you should stop and check your tires as

soon as possible, and inflate them to the

proper pressure.

If there is a system malfunction, the

inflation pressure warning symbol

will flash for approximately one minute and

then glow steadily.

System description

The tire pressure monitoring system measures

differences in rotational speed between the

wheels through the ABS system to determine

if the tires are properly inflated. If inflation

pressure in a tire is too low, its diameter (and

consequently its rotational speed) changes. By

comparing the tires with each other, the sys-

tem can determine if the pressure in one or

more tires is too low.

Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire

causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire

failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-

ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the

vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please

note that the TPMS is not a substitute for

proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's

responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,

even if under-inflation has not reached the

level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low

tire pressure telltale.

The decal specifies the designation for the fac-

tory-mounted tires on the vehicle, as well as

load limits and inflation pressures.

Adjusting tire pressure (p. 524)

•

To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure,

pressure should be checked when the tires

are cold. The tires are considered to be

cold when they have reached the same

temperature as the ambient temperature

(about 3 hours after the vehicle was last

driven). After driving for a few kilometers,

the tires will warm up and the pressure will

increase.

When the inflation pressure monitoring sys-

tem¹¹detects low inflation pressure in a tire,

immediate action is required.

If the system's indicator symbol illu-

minates and the message Tire

pressure low is displayed, check

the tire pressure and inflate if neces-

sary.

•

1. Switch off the ignition.

2. Check the inflation pressure on all four

tires using a tire pressure gauge.

After inflating a tire, always replace the

valve cap to help prevent valve damage

caused by gravel, dirt, etc.

•

3. Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pres-

sure; see the tire pressure placard on the

driver's side B pillar for recommended

pressures for factory-mounted tires.

Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps

could corrode and become difficult to

remove.

4. After the inflation pressure has been

adjusted, always save the new inflation

pressure in the system via the center dis-

play.

WARNING

Incorrect inflation pressure could lead

to tire failure, which could cause the

driver to lose control of the vehicle.

•

Please be aware that the indicator symbol

will not go out until the low tire pressure

has been corrected and a storing proce-

dure has been started for the new inflation

pressure.

The system cannot predict sudden tire

damage.

Snow tires

Tread depth

Snow chains

Road conditions with ice, slush and low tem-

peratures place considerably higher demands

on tires than summer conditions. Volvo there-

fore recommends not driving on snow tires

that have a tread depth of less than 4 mm

(0.15 inch).

Snow tires are designed for winter driving

conditions.

Using snow chains and/or snow tires can

help improve traction in winter driving condi-

tions.

Volvo does not recommend use of snow

chains on wheel dimensions larger than

18 inches.

Volvo recommends snow tires with specific

dimensions. The tire dimensions vary depend-

ing on engine type. When driving with snow

tires, the correct type of tires must be moun-

ted on all four wheels.

Related information

WARNING

•

Tread wear indicator (p. 519)

Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-

lent snow chains that are suitable for the

vehicle model and the tire and wheel sizes.

Only one-sided snow chains are permit-

ted.

Winter driving (p. 421)

Contact a Volvo dealer for advice on the

best choice of rims and tires.

Tips for changing snow tires

When switching between regular tires and

snow tires, mark the tires according to which

side they were mounted on, e.g. L for left and

R for right.

If uncertain about snow chains, Volvo rec-

ommends contacting an authorized Volvo

workshop. Use of the wrong snow chains

could cause serious damage to the vehicle

and result in an accident.

Studded tires

Studded tires should be broken in by driving

500–1000 km (300–600 miles) slowly and

gently to help the studs settle properly in the

tires. This gives the tire, and especially the

studs, a longer service life.

Regulations regarding the use of studded

tires vary from country to country.

WARNING

Only put snow chains on the front

wheels (also applies to all-wheel drive

vehicles).

•

California Proposition 65

Consult a Volvo retailer for more information

about snow chains.

Operating, servicing and maintaining a pas-

senger vehicle can expose you to chemi-

cals including engine exhaust, carbon mon-

oxide, phthalates, and lead, which are

known to the State of California to cause

cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-

tive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid

breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine

except as necessary, service your vehicle in

a well ventilated area and wear gloves or

wash your hands frequently when servicing

your vehicle. For more information go to

Related information

If accessory, aftermarket or "custom"

tires and wheels with different dimen-

sions than the original tires and wheels

are used, snow chains in some cases

may NOT be used. Sufficient distance

between the chains and brakes, sus-

pension and body components must

be maintained.

Winter driving (p. 421)

•

Check local regulations regarding the

use of snow chains before installing.

•

Never exceed the snow chain manu-

facturer's specified maximum speed

limit. Under no circumstances should

you exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).

The tire sealing system consists of a compres-

sor and a bottle containing sealing compound.

The sealing functions as a temporary repair.

Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns

when driving with snow chains.

Avoid driving on surfaces without

snow as this wears out both the snow

chains and the tires.
