Summer and winter wheels
The arrow shows the tyre’s direction of rotation
When summer and winter wheels are
changed the wheels should be marked with
which side of the car they were mounted on,
for example L for left and R for right.
Tyres with a tread pattern which are de-
signed to only turn in one direction have the
direction of rotation marked with an arrow.
The tyre should always rotate in the same di-
rection throughout its lifespan. Tyres should
only be switched between front and rear po-
sitions, never between left and right-hand
sides, or vice versa. If the tyres are mounted
incorrectly, the car’s braking characteristics
and capacity to force rain, snow and slush
out of the way are adversely affected.
Tyres with the greatest tread depth should al-
ways be fitted to the rear of the car (to de-
crease the risk of skidding).
Wheels should be stored lying down or hang-
ing up, and not standing up.
Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if you
are uncertain about tread depth.
