Volvo tyre tips
- XC90 owners on 21-inch wheels should expect firmer ride and higher replacement cost than on 19 or 20 inch.
- VOL-marked tyres are the factory-approved option and match Volvo's stability system tuning.
- The XC90 is a heavy seven-seater; keep it at the loaded pressure for family trips to Oman or Ras Al Khaimah.
Common factory tyres on Volvo: Michelin, Pirelli, Continental.

When to replace the tyres
Expect 40,000–60,000 km from a set on a front-wheel-drive sedan with regular rotation, and replace at around five years regardless of tread. Front tyres wear faster, so rotating every 8,000–10,000 km makes a real difference.
Most sedans need a load index of 88–98 and a speed rating of H (210 km/h) or V (240 km/h). Larger sedans on 18 inch wheels often specify 94W or 95V XL. Always match or exceed the figures on the door placard.
