Temporary Spare (certain models)
The spare tire in your car is called a "Temporary Spare". It has the following designation: T115/70 R15
or T125/80 R17.
Recommended tire pressure (see decal on fuel filler flap) should be maintained irrespective of which
position on the car the Temporary Spare tire is used on.
In the event of damage to this tire, a new one can be purchased from your Volvo retailer.
CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other
than the one that came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's
transmission.
WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary
replacement for a punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard
tire. Roadholding, etc., may be affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed
50 mph (80 km/h).
