Volvo C30 models produced in MY2010 with either a 1.6, 1.8, 1.8F, 2.0 or a 1.6D engine can be fitted with either Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 or Michelin Primacy 5 in size 205/55 R16 91V, available from Tyres.co.uk. Note the wheel size, load index, and speed rating can be found on the registration and just within the door-pillar label.
The Volvo C30 has the tyre size information on the tyre pressure sticker on the driver’s side door-pillar. The tyre pressure sticker shows the permitted range for different load and speed conditions, whilst the tyre sidewall shows the installed size. The door-pillar label shows the approved size.
Four new tyres are rarely needed on a C30, mainly because all variants are from the factory fitted with front-wheel drive, meaning there is no AWD variant to affect matching tyres. Volvo advises to keep all four tyres matched, and in the UK if two tyres are needed to be replaced, UK safety dictates the new pair should be placed on the rear axle.
