Dimensions
When driving with winter tires, it's important that all four tires are of the correct type. Contact a Volvo retailer for advice.
Studded tires
Studded winter tires should be run-in gently for 500-1,000 km (300-600 miles) so that the studs settle properly into the tires. This gives the tire, and especially the studs, a longer service life.
Note
Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush, snow and low temperatures put higher demands on your tires than summer conditions. Volvo recommends that winter tires have a tread depth of at least 4 millimeters (0.15 inch).
Note
Speed rating
Winter tires1 are allowed to have a lower speed rating than your vehicle's top speed. However, if your winter tires do have a lower speed rating than your vehicle's top speed, you are not allowed to drive faster than tire speed rating.
