Do you really know all the advantages of genuine Volvo wheels? A hint, safety is once again a key element.
Are you a proud owner of a Volvo and not sure about Volvo winter wheels? You don't understand the difference with standard alloy wheels? Well in this article, we'll take a look at the genuine Vovlo wheels and their safety advantages.
Increased safety with Volvo's winter wheel kit
In Canada, and more specifically in Quebec, we all know the importance of choosing the best tires for our Volvo. In winter, this is even more important to face the difficult conditions.
The wheels are elements that should not be ignored, because they also have an important role to play.
Genuine Volvo wheels are built and designed exclusively for your Volvo. Firstly in terms of design to complete its aesthetic finish, but above all for your safety.
The wheels produced by Volvo are, as we said, in accordance with the curves of your car, but they are also made to protect your Volvo.
Indeed, their curves have been designed to facilitate the ventilation of the brake discs, thus avoiding excessive heating and early wear of the brake pads.
They also reduce the projection of mud, rain or debris around the vehicle and on the brakes.
- Adapted to Volvo safety standards
These "mags" are also designed and made by Swedish engineers to meet the most advanced safety standards in the industry. These Volvo wheels undergo resistance tests up to the "crash test" of vehicles.
Thus, Volvo guarantees you an increased resistance during an impact and the maximum protection for the passengers of the vehicle.
- Developed by Volvo, for your Volvo
Each wheel is made according to the specific parameters of your Volvo. Depending on the weight and size of your vehicle, the driving dynamics are not the same.
That's why Volvo engineers pay attention to every detail and design in each wheel to perfectly fit each of the Swedish brand's models.
In our Volvo service center, we have already seen vehicles being serviced with generic wheels with a difference in diameter at the hub. It is made possible to adapt to a maximum of vehicles on the market. This small millimeter of movement that looks like nothing, can be responsible for wheel misalignment, vibration in the steering wheel and thus a increased chance of a safety issue for your vehicle..
With Volvo wheels, there is no risk because they are perfectly adapted to each vehicle of the Swedish range by being hub centric.
- Tested and developed in difficult conditions
We were talking about the climate in Quebec, but Swedish winters are just as tough. Volvo engineers test the genuine Volvo wheels in conditions that are similar to those in Quebec.
More resistant than standard alloy wheels
The number one enemy of the roads in Montreal and in Quebec in general is of course the potholes. Easily formed during winter when the ice breaks up, they are an incredible hazard to your tires and the wheels of your Volvo.
Designed for your safety, Volvo engineers wanted the best. That's why Volvo's Genuine Wheels are made with a reinforced steel alloy. More resistant than generic wheels, they will be better able to absorb shocks and will be more resistant to Montreal potholes.
Durability and guaranteed life span
One of the most important factors when buying wheels for a car is the longevity, (the life span). With the cold, the snow, the salt on the roads, and the rims of vehicles are put to the test.
Volvo wheel rims are made with advanced rust protection. Thanks to a special paint, they are more resistant and their life span can be longer than standard mags whose quality requirements are not the same as Volvo's.
