Volvo S80 Tire Pressure

It is important to maintain proper tire pressure for Volvo S80 tires. Low tire pressure will result in tire underinflation, and high tire pressure will result in tire overinflation, which can compromise tire safety, cause tire blowout, decrease fuel efficiency, cause uneven tire wear and reduce tire tread life. Check Volvo S80 tire pressure regularly, and monitor Volvo S80 tire inflation levels to avoid overinflated or underinflated tires.

Keep in mind that tire inflation value listed on tire sidewall is a maximum tire pressure the tire can be inflated to, and not a recommended tire pressure for Volvo S80. Use recommended tire pressure listed on the tire pressure chart found on a sticker on driver's door jam or in Volvo S80 manual. Also, pay attention as your Volvo S80 may have different recommended tire pressure values for front and rear tires. Keep Volvo S80 tires inflated within reasonable psi range of the recommended levels.

If you replace Volvo S80 original equipment tires with optional tire sizes or you switch to plus size tires, make sure to follow guidelines for the application of load and inflation tables to find proper tire pressure for your new tires on your Volvo S80. Tires with the same load index, regardless of tire size, may carry the same load, but not always, and they may require substantially different inflation pressures. Tire load index may not be used independently to determine replacement tire acceptability for load capacity. An equal or greater load index does not always correspond to equal or greater load capacity at all inflation pressure settings.

Always refer to the Volvo S80 owner’s manual for any specific safety advice regarding the application of replacement tires.

Volvo S80 replacement tires must have equal or greater speed rating compared to the original equipment tires if your Volvo S80 speed capability is to be maintained. It is recommended that tire installers refer to the Volvo S80 owner’s manual to identify any tire speed rating restriction or recommendation that could affect the operation of the vehicle. If Volvo S80 replacement tires have a lower speed rating than Volvo S80 original equipment tires, the vehicle’s speed must be restricted to that of the replacement tires.

Original equipment tires that come on your Volvo S80 will have the proper tire load index, so stick to that number or higher when you replace them with new tires. Tire load index tells you how much weight your tire can carry. Putting too much weight on your tires will overload them, and can cause tire damage, premature tire wear or even tire blowout. You can check Volvo S80 manual to find the recommended tire size and load rating.

Volvo S80 tire pressure changes with temperature, so check your Volvo S80 tire pressure when outside temperatures change. During colder months when temperatures drop, Volvo S80 tire pressure will decrease also by approximately 1 psi for each 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Maintain proper Volvo S80 winter tire pressure by adding air to your tires as needed to the recommended tire inflation levels.

Volvo S80 tire pressure should be checked when tires are cold, after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours. It is best to check your tire inflation pressure in the morning, after the vehicle has been parked overnight.

If your Volvo S80 is equipped with tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), pay attention to low tire pressure warning light being on. Ensure your tire pressure sensors are working properly to stay alert and enjoy a safe ride. If your tire pressure warning light is on, check front and rear tires to make sure they are properly inflated.

What is my recommended tire pressure for my Volvo S80?
Recommended tire pressure for Volvo S80 is determined by the Volvo S80 manufacturer based on your vehicle's characteristics and tire sizes. Select your Volvo S80 trim to find recommended tire pressure for Volvo S80 tires.

How do I find my recommended tire pressure setting for my Volvo S80? What should my Volvo S80 tire pressure be?
You can find your Volvo S80 recommended tire pressure in Volvo S80 owner's manual, on sticker attached to the driver's door jam, inside glove box compartment or fuel door. Recommended tire inflation for Volvo S80 will be listed in psi, bar or kPa.

How to check my Volvo S80 tire pressure?
Proper Volvo S80 tire inflation is essential to the overall tire performance of your vehicle. To check tire pressure for Volvo S80 you will need to know its recommended tire pressure levels and a standard or digital tire pressure gauge. Check inflation levels in Volvo S80 tires with the tire pressure gauge and adjust your Volvo S80 tire pressure to its recommended levels be adding or releasing air. Check Volvo S80 tire pressure levels in all tires again. Make sure to check tire pressure for your Volvo S80 regularly to ensure safe and comfortable drive.

Why is my Volvo S80 tire pressure warning light on?
If your Volvo S80 is equipped with TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) it will alert you when tire pressure is too low and your tires could be underinflated, or tire pressure is too high and your tires could be overinflated, both of which can lead to uneven tire wear and can cause tire failure. If Volvo S80 low tire pressure warning light is on, check all Volvo S80 tires for low tire pressure and inflate tires to the recommended tire pressure levels. Keep in mind that TPMS does not replace routine tire pressure check and maintenance.

How do I reset tire pressure warning light for Volvo S80?
To reset tire pressure monitoring system for Volvo S80, make sure front and rear tires are inflated to the recommended levels. Turn the engine on, then press and hold the tire pressure reset button located under the steering wheel on the instrument panel. Hold the button down until the TPMS light blinks three times then release the button.

What is recommended winter tire pressure for my Volvo S80?
Recommended winter tire pressure for Volvo S80 is same no matter what season. You should always keep your Volvo S80 tire pressure at recommended levels. Keep in mind that Volvo S80 tire inflation levels will decrease with lower outside temperatures, so make sure you check Volvo S80 tire pressure during winter months regularly to keep Volvo S80 tires properly inflated.
