The winter chill can deflate your tires' performance! Colder air shrinks the air molecules inside, lowering pressure and impacting both handling and fuel efficiency. Give your tires extra attention as temperatures drop.

How to Adjust Tire Pressure in Colder Weather:

Check Your Vehicle's Recommended Tire Pressure:

Check your Volvo manual or the driver's door sticker. Remember, if your tires aren't the originals, this number might not apply.

Use a Quality Tire Pressure Gauge:

Consider acquiring a reliable tire pressure gauge, whether digital or analog, to precisely measure each tire. Even a slight pressure drop can significantly impact your tire performance.

Check Tire Pressure Regularly:

With the recurring temperature changes during the winter season, consistently check your tire pressure. Promptly addressing noticeable low pressure will help secure the best performance and safety for your vehicle. In areas with substantial cold temperature variations, consider more frequent checks.

Where To Pump Your Tires:

Many gas stations offer free or affordable tire air pump machines. Keep some spare change on hand, as some air pump machines may accept credit cards. For your convenience at home, think about a portable tire air compressor. It enables you to inflate your tires comfortably in your garage or driveway, maintaining proper inflation.

Ensuring optimal tire pressure during winter months is important for safe and efficient vehicle operation. Follow these recommended steps, and don't hesitate to visit our Volvo dealership for expert support should you require further assistance.
