Choosing Volvo Tires and Correct Size

When you need new tires for your Volvo XC90 lease deal, our tire center is the place to come. You'll find a wide selection of tire styles and sizes when you arrive. If this is your first time buying new tires for your vehicle, you might be wondering how to find the correct tire size for your vehicle.

You can easily find the size of Volvo tire you need by looking at the sidewall of the tires on your car. Look for a series of numbers and letters that looks something like this: 235/60R18. That's your tire size. Depending on your vehicle's model year and trim, the size may not be exactly that, but that's the format.

• 235 is the width of the tire in millimeters
• 60 is the height of the sidewall in millimeters
• R stands for "Radial" construction
• 18 is the rim diameter in inches

Volvo Tire Alignment vs. Balancing

After you purchase new Volvo tires from our tire center, we'll mount, balance, and align the tires on your vehicle. Tire balancing and alignment are different parts of any Volvo tire replacement. While a tire is a circle, it is never a perfect circle. Balancing the tire ensures that the tire spins evenly like a circle and not a lopsided oval. Tiny weights are installed on the wheel to compensate for any imbalances in the tire's shape.

Tire alignment is different from tire balancing. Alignment ensures that the tire sits on the road as flat as possible to prevent uneven tire wear and degradation. A tire is a three-dimensional object and needs to be evenly aligned on every plane. Camber, caster, and toe are the three ways the tire can tilt out of alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What brand of tires does Volvo Cars use?

Contact our tire shop for help choosing the correct tires for your Volvo SUV lease special.

How long should Volvo Cars tires last?

If you're wondering when you should change the tires on your Volvo SUV or sedan, we recommend installing new Volvo tires every three to five years, depending on how many miles you drive, weather conditions, your driving style, and how you maintain your car's tires. We also suggest regular visual inspections and tire rotations to ensure the tires are not damaged and wear evenly.

How often should I rotate my Volvo car tires?

Most people drive 10,000 to 15,000 miles every year, and we recommend changing the tires on your Volvo vehicle every 7,500 miles or so. This equates to roughly twice a year or with every oil change. Bumping a curb, parking block, or pothole are common ways to knock your Volvo tires out of alignment. If this happens, schedule a tire service.
