2007 VOLVO C70 CONVERTIBLE rims

2007 Volvo C70
General information
Your vehicle is equipped with tires according to the vehicle's tire info\
rmation placard on the B-pillar (the
structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver'\
s door opening), or on the inside of
the fuel filler door on Canadian models.
The tires have good road holding characteristics and offer good handling\
on dry and wet surfaces. It
should be noted however that the tires have been developed to give these\
features on snow/ice-free
surfaces.
Certain models are equipped with "all-season" tires, which provide a som\
ewhat higher degree of road
holding on slippery surfaces than tires without the "all-season" rating.\
However, for optimum road
holding on icy or snow-covered roads, we recommend suitable winter tires\
on all four wheels.
When replacing tires, be sure that the new tires are the same size desig\
nation, type (radial) and preferably
from the same manufacturer, on all four wheels. Otherwise there is a ris\
k of altering the car's roadholding
and handling characteristics.
Storing wheels and tires
When storing complete wheels (tires mounted on rims), they should be s\
uspended off the floor or placed
on their sides on the floor.
Tires not mounted on rims should be stored on their sides or standing up\
right, but should not be
suspended.
CAUTION
Tires should preferably be stored in a cool, dry, dark place, and should\
never be stored in close
proximity to solvents, gasoline, oils, etc.
WARNING
l The wheel and tire sizes for your are specified to meet stringent stabil\
ity and handling requirements.
Unapproved wheel/ tire size combinations can negatively affect your vehi\
cle's stability and handling.
Approved tire sizes are shown in the Tire inflation pressure tables on
pages 156 and 157.
l Any damage caused by installation of unapproved wheel/tire size combinat\
ions will not be covered
by your new vehicle warranty. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death,\
injury, or expenses that may
result from such installations.

There are two different types of wheel nut, depending on whether the whe\
els are steel or aluminum.
Steel rims - low nut
Steel rims are normally secured using the low type of nut, although stee\
l rims may also use the high type.
WARNING
Never use the short type of nut for aluminium wheels. This could cause t\
he wheel to come
loose.
Aluminum wheels - high nut
Only the high type of nut can be used for aluminum wheels. This is consi\
derably different from other
types of nut because it has a rotating conical thrust washer.
NOTE
This nut can also be used on steel
wheels.
Lockable wheel nut
If steel wheels with lockable wheel nuts are used in combination with wh\
eel covers, the lockable wheel
nut must be fitted to the stud nearest the air valve. The wheel cover ca\
nnot otherwise be installed on the
wheel.
