1998 C70 Wear indicator The tires have a so-called "wear indicator" in the form of a number of narrow strips running across or parallel to the tread. When approx. 1/16" (1.6 mm) is left on the tread, these strips show up and indicate that the tire should be replaced. Tires with less than 1/16" (1.6 mm) tread have a very poor grip in rain or snow. When replacing worn tires, it is recommended that the tire be identical in type (radial) and size as the one being replaced. Using a tire of the same make (manufacturer) will prevent alteration of the driving characteristics of the vehicle. To improve tire economy: ● Maintain correct tire pressure. ● Drive smoothly: avoid fast starts, hard braking and tire screeching. ● Tire wear increases with speed. ● Correct front wheel alignment is very important. ● Unbalanced wheels impair tire economy and driving comfort. ● If the wheels are rotated, they should be kept on the same side of the car so that they revolve in the same direction as prior to rotation. ● Hitting curbs or potholes can damage the tires and/or wheels permanently. Flat spots All tires become warm during use. After cooling, when the vehicle is parked, the tires have a tendency to distort slightly, forming flat spots. These flat spots can cause vibrations similar to the vibrations caused by unbalanced wheels. They do, however, disappear when the tire warms up. The degree to which the flat spots form depends on the type of cord used in the tire. Remember that, in cold weather, it takes longer for the tire to warm up and consequently longer for the flat spot to disappear. CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission. pg. 77 Wheels and tires (cont.) Snow chains Snow tire chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions: ● Snow chains should be installed on front wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow chains. ● Snow chains may be mounted on tire dimension 195/65R15. Tire dimension 205/55R16 requires a special type of snow chain. Consult your Volvo retailer. Snow chains may not be used on 205/55R16 tires. If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires and wheels are installed and are of a size different than the original tires and wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT be used. Snow chains cannot be used on those turbo-charged models fitted with all-season tires 225/50R16 or 225/45R17 or 225/40R18. Sufficient clearances between chains and brakes, suspension and body components must be maintained. file:///K|/ownersdocs/1998/1998_C70/98c70_23.htm (2 of 5)12/30/2006 1:49:14 PM
