Buy Tires for 1997 Volvo 850
Finding the right tires can be quick and easy, especially when you have all the information you need to make a good decision. That's why you should come to see us when it's time to buy new tires for your 1997 Volvo 850. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for Volvo 850 tires for winter, spring, summer, and fall. Whether you want tire that's made to take tight corners, handle diverse terrain, or improve fuel-efficiency, you'll find the right tires for your vehicle and budget.
View Volvo-recommended tires for your 1997 850, plus useful info about Volvo 850 tire size, speed rating, and tire pressure. Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for tires and you'll experience our best service. As one of our tire managers, Ruben, says, “I make sure you know which tire is the best fit for your car, not only for performance but safety.”
Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Volvo 850 tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. If you live in south Texas, you probably won't need studded snow tires anytime soon. Somewhere like Colorado or even Kansas is a different story. You may want to invest in a set of Volvo 850 snow tires for one part of the year, and all-season tires for the rest of the year.
When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. That way, they can maximize their Volvo 850's performance during both seasons. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!
Next, consider your driving style. Do you enjoy challenging the limits of your Volvo 850? Going where no vehicle has gone before? If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. You'll want a tire that can handle gravel, sand, stone, and dirt. You might even want a bigger tire with stiffer sidewalls and a wide tread pattern to help prevent punctures and maintain stability on bumpy roads. But if you're comfortable in the city and suburbs, a Volvo 850 tire that offers low rolling resistance for better fuel efficiency might be exactly what you want. Browse Volvo 850 tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you. You're only a click or two away from a new set of 1997 Volvo 850 tires.
Tire Brands for Volvo 850s
You have so many options when it comes to tire brands that work for Volvo 850s. Firestone and Bridgestone are two of the most popular. Volvo 850 Firestone tires are tires you can count on. Harvey Firestone founded the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio in 1900. He was a passionate inventor from the start. Firestone saw a future in automobile tires, so he started making and testing farm, truck, and passenger tires. One of the company's pioneering efforts was the introduction in 1908 of the first all-rubber, non-skid tire!

They make 8,000 different tires for all sorts of vehicles — including 1997 Volvo 850s.
Bridgestone is another top choice for Volvo 850 tires. Bridgestone Tire Company Ltd. was founded by Shojiro Ishibashi in Japan in 1931 and merged with The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company in 1990. Today, Bridgestone Tires has more than 50 production facilities and 55,000 employees throughout the Americas!

1997 Volvo 850 Tire Questions
Inspecting and caring for your tires is one of the best ways to help them last. Get answers to common Volvo 850 tire questions and learn how to care for new tires.
-
Why does Volvo tire inflation matter? A small decrease in tire pressure can have a big impact on your driving. Maintaining proper tire pressure can help improve braking time, increase fuel economy, and boost tire lifespan.
-
What do the tire sidewall numbers mean for my Volvo 850? Your tire sidewall numbers tell you the recommended load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to a tire technician to learn how to read Volvo tire numbers.
-
Can I check the tread depth on my Volvo tires at home? All you need is a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Volvo 850 tires.
