Tire direction of rotation

Incorrectly mounted tires impair the car's braking properties and ability to force aside rain, snow and slush.
P5-1507-wheel rotation
The arrows shows the direction of rotation of the tire
  • The tires with the most tread should always be on the rear axle (to help reduce the risk of skidding).
  • When switching between summer and winter tires, mark the tires to indicate where they were mounted on the car, e.g., LF = left front, RR = right rear
  • Tires with tread designed to roll in only one direction are marked with an arrow on the sidewall.
  • Contact a trained and qualified Volvo service technician if you are unsure about the tread depth.
