What Volvo approves

Volvo

Volvo-approved tires are marked VOL, and VOL with a foam symbol on the quieter versions.

Volvo's approval is weighted toward wet braking and cabin noise. On the Recharge models the approved tire usually carries acoustic foam, the same idea Tesla uses.

Brands that carry the approval

Michelin Continental Pirelli Goodyear

Written on the sidewall as: Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV (VOL), Continental PremiumContact (VOL).

The drawing carries the sizes we list for this car, so you know what you are looking for. The placard on the car is still the final word, and it is the only place that gives the cold pressures: the number molded into the sidewall is the maximum the tire can hold, not what your car wants.

Volvo 164 tires: common questions

What size tires does a Volvo 164 take?

The most common original size is 185R15. Other model years and trims use different sizes, so check the list on this page and confirm against the sticker inside your driver's door.

Can I fit a different size on my Volvo 164?

You can, within limits: the overall diameter should stay within about 3 percent of the original, and the load index and speed rating must meet or exceed the door placard. Anything further changes your speedometer reading and can rub at full lock.

Where is the tire size on a Volvo 164?

Open the driver's door and look at the white and yellow placard on the door jamb or the B-pillar. The same size is also molded into the sidewall of the tires currently on the car, unless someone changed them.

The 1975 Volvo 164 came from the factory on 185R15. Wheel packages can change that within the same model year, so check the placard inside the door jamb before you order.

What size tires does a 1974 Volvo 164 take?

The 1974 Volvo 164 came from the factory on 185R15. Wheel packages can change that within the same model year, so check the placard inside the door jamb before you order.
