FAQs About Volvo Tires

Volvo does not exclusively use one tire brand. However, they often partner with leading tire manufacturers like Continental to develop tires that meet their specific performance and safety standards. Many Volvo models come factory-fitted with Continental tires, reflecting the brand's trust in Continental’s quality and reliability.

Volvo typically recommends tires that meet specific criteria for load capacity, speed rating, and size, all of which are detailed in your vehicle's owner’s manual. Continental offers several tire models that meet or exceed these recommendations, ensuring optimal performance and safety for your Volvo. Consulting your Volvo's manual and a tire professional will help you choose the best option.

While standard tires can be used on Volvo cars, using tires specifically designed for your Volvo can enhance its performance and safety. Volvo-approved tires undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the brand's high standards. These tires often feature unique tread patterns and rubber compounds optimized for Volvo vehicles.

While not mandatory, using Volvo-approved tires is highly recommended. These tires are specifically engineered to complement your Volvo's design and performance characteristics. Using approved tires ensures optimal handling, braking, and overall driving experience, maintaining the vehicle's intended safety and performance standards.

Tires should be replaced when the tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch (1.6 mm), which is the legal minimum in most areas. However, for optimal safety and performance, it's recommended to replace tires when they reach 4/32 of an inch, especially if you frequently drive in wet or snowy conditions. Regular tire inspections can help you determine when a Volvo tire replacement is necessary.

The correct tire pressure for your Volvo can be found on a sticker located on the driver's side doorjamb or in your owner's manual. Maintaining proper tire pressure is crucial for optimal handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear. Here are some reference tire pressure examples for popular Volvo models:

  • Volvo XC60 (2021–Present): Front: 33 PSI, Rear: 33 PSI
  • Volvo S60 (2021–Present): Front: 36 PSI, Rear: 36 PSI
  • Volvo XC90 (2021–Present): Front: 35 PSI, Rear: 35 PSI

Regularly checking and maintaining the correct tire pressure will ensure a safer and more efficient driving experience in your Volvo. Proper inflation also helps reduce fuel consumption and supports even tread wear over time.


The right Volvo tires are key to enjoying the full potential of your vehicle. Continental’s commitment to quality and innovation ensures that you can drive with confidence, knowing your Volvo is equipped with the best possible tires. Whether you prioritize safety, performance, or fuel efficiency, Continental offers a Volvo tire solution tailored to your needs.
