Volvo XC60 tires come in two specifications: 235/60R18 and 235/55R19. In 235/60R18, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 60 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, 18 stands for the rim diameter of 18 inches, and the letter "R" in the middle denotes a radial tire. In 235/55R19, the first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 55 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 55%, meaning the section height is 55% of the width, 19 stands for the rim diameter of 19 inches, and the letter "R" in the middle denotes a radial tire. The brand of Volvo XC60 tires is Pirelli, featuring a five-spoke Y-shaped design, with the spare tire being non-full size. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow these steps: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, the jack should be positioned under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hubcap, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not completely unscrew them, just enough to eliminate resistance, keeping the tire on the ground when loosening the nuts for the first time ensures the nuts turn instead of the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, then completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, hand-tighten the nuts until all are concealed, at this point the tire replacement is complete. In addition to the model, tires are also marked with the following common data: Tire cord material: indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8km/h to 300km/h.
