Original tire sizes for the Volvo 140 Series, model years 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973 and 1974. Trim levels and wheel packages change the size within the same year, so confirm on the door-jamb sticker before ordering.

Wheel sizes 15" Every fitment we list uses this diameter.
Tire sizes listed 1 One size per model year across the years we cover.

Check before you order. The surest answer is the tires on the car right now: the size is molded into the sidewall. The placard inside the driver's door tells you what the factory fitted. Our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where to look.

What Volvo approves

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).

Every US car built since 2003 carries this placard. It also gives the pressures, which the sidewall does not: the number molded into the tire is the maximum it can hold, not what your car wants.

Volvo 140 Series tires: common questions

What size tires does a Volvo 140 Series take?

The most common original size is 165R15. 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 140 Series?

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.
