SPARE TYRES/TIRES (SPACE SAVER) Experience shows that the spare tyre/tire is seldom used nowadays. It may lie unused for 4 or 5 years before it is brought out and used as a road tyre/tire for another 4 or 5 years. It is not advisable to use such an old tyre/tire as rubber ages. For this reason, Volvo has developed a new type of spare tyre/tire which is only intended to be used for the short period during which the standard tyre/tire is being repaired or replaced. This tyre/tire meets all existing legal requirements and is strong enough to cope with the maximum permitted axle load.
