Order the perfect winter tires for my Volvo

October 12 2022 Volvo Cars Saint-Léonard

You are comfortably seated behind the wheel of your Volvo. On the way, the sky is white as if the first snowfall is about to come.

You drive on, hoping to get there before it falls. Once you get to the office, you remember that December 1st is coming up and it's time to order your Volvo winter tires.

But which tire should you choose? What size? Can I order a Volvo winter wheel kit or should I buy my tires separately from my wheels?

Fortunately, this article explains in detail how to order the perfect winter tires for your Volvo.

Which winter tire should I choose for my Volvo?

Choosing winter tires is not easy. In addition to the technical aspects, it is difficult to find your way through all the brands, categories and prices.

Whether it's an SUV or a Volvo sedan, the usage and the environment are the two most important criteria.

What size winter tire should I get?

To find out what size of winter tire to choose, refer to your Volvo's documentation or read the tire's sidewall.

You will see the information in this form (example): 235/50 R19 91V. So a Volvo owner can refer to these numbers when ordering their Volvo winter tires.

However, driving in the winter increases the chances of damaging your vehicle's rims. To reduce costs (repair / purchase), it is possible (depending on the model) to choose a smaller rim size (e.g. 18" instead of 19").

For this type of procedure, we recommend that you contact the parts department of your dealership (Volvo Cars Saint Léonard) where a technical advisor will guide you in your needs.

Which brand of winter tire should I choose?

There are dozens of brands on the internet that offer winter tires for Volvo, ranging from entry-level to premium brands.

To ensure a healthy driving behavior and efficient braking capabilities at low temperatures (minimum 7°C and below), we advise you to use quality tires designed and tested in extreme conditions.

For example, the Michelin brand creates winter tires to Volvo safety standards with annual tests in Lapland.

Why use Volvo wheels?

The main advantage of Volvo's genuine wheels is their resistance to salt, cold and snow, therefore avoiding spending money on new rims every year.

Finally, each winter wheel kit has been designed to respect the design of your Volvo, protecting it while keeping the style.

But the benefits go further.

A warranty for added protection

Quebec roads are not known for their kindness to wheels.

When you order Volvo winter tires, you are protected by the "road hazard guarantee" which ensures that your tire is reimbursed up to 100% the first year and 50% the second.

This hazard guarantee covers potholes and road imperfections that can damage your winter tire until it needs to be replaced.

What about the cost of installation?

The cost of installation differs according to two cases:

$84.00 for the installation of 4 pre-mounted tires on wheels (including balancing)
$128.00 to install the tires on wheels (including installation and balancing).
Prices shown are exclusive of taxes and applicable for the 2022-2023 winter season.
