Volvo V60 Tire Pressure (Recommended PSI)
TL;DR
Most Volvo V60 (2019 to 2024) trims run 33 to 34 PSI front and rear on standard tires, but some larger wheel sizes are listed as high as 39 PSI - check your own door-jamb placard for the figure that matches your exact tire size.
There is no single correct PSI for every Volvo V60
The Volvo V60 has been built across two generations (2011 to 2018, and 2019 to present), with several engine and trim levels (T5, T6, T8, Polestar Engineered, Cross Country) and a wide range of factory wheel and tire sizes. Volvo assigns a different recommended cold tire pressure to each tire size, and in several model years also lists a separate, slightly higher ECO setting for fuel economy. A single figure quoted for the whole model line is not reliable.
Where to find the correct number for YOUR car
The authoritative source is always your own vehicle: check the tire pressure placard on the driver-side door jamb (visible when the door is open), or the owner's manual section on wheels and tires. If you have fitted a non-factory tire size, use the pressure for the tire size actually mounted, not the size originally listed for the trim.
What published sources show (2019 to 2024, second generation)
Reference sources compiled from Volvo handbooks broadly agree that standard-size tires (215/60 R16 through 235/45 R18) sit around 33 to 34 PSI front and rear. For 2024 model-year cars the same standard sizes are listed slightly higher, around 34 PSI. However, other reference tables for larger, performance-oriented sizes (235/40 R19, 245/40 R19, 245/35 R20) list noticeably higher figures, up to 39 PSI on some trims - sources do not fully agree here, so treat that upper end as a range rather than a fixed number.
| Generation / years | Trim or tire size | Front (PSI) | Rear (PSI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd gen, 2018-2021 | Standard sizes 205/60 R16 to 235/45 R18 | 33 | 33 |
| 2nd gen, 2019 | Larger/performance sizes 235/40 R19, 245/40 R19, 245/35 R20 | 35-39 | 35-39 |
| 2nd gen, 2024 | Standard sizes 215/60 R16 to 245/35 R20 | 34 | 34 |
| 2nd gen, select years | ECO / fuel-economy setting (where listed) | 35-36 | 35-36 |
| 1st gen, 2011-2018 | All trims and tire sizes | see door placard | see door placard |
| All generations | Temporary compact spare | 60 | 60 |
First-generation V60 (2011-2018)
Reliable, cross-checked cold-pressure figures for the first-generation V60 were not available across multiple independent sources at the time of writing. Rather than repeat a single unverified number, we recommend reading it directly off your door placard - it will list the correct figure for your specific tire size and load condition.
Summary
| 2nd gen (2018-2021), standard tire sizes | 33 PSI front/rear |
|---|---|
| 2nd gen (2019), larger/performance tire sizes | 35-39 PSI front/rear (sources vary) |
| 2nd gen (2024), standard tire sizes | 34 PSI front/rear |
| 2nd gen, ECO setting (select years) | 35-36 PSI |
| 1st gen (2011-2018) | check door placard - not independently verified |
| Temporary compact spare (all years) | 60 PSI |
| Authoritative source | driver-door jamb placard and owner's manual |

Frequently asked questions
Where is the official tire pressure information for my Volvo V60?
Open the driver-side front door and look at the pressure placard on the door jamb (the pillar the door latches against) - it lists the exact cold PSI for your car's original tire size, front and rear, plus a spare-tire figure. The same numbers are repeated in the owner's manual chapter on wheels and tires.
Why do different websites list different PSI numbers for the same V60?
Volvo assigns pressure by tire size and sometimes by trim, not by model name alone. A V60 with the base 16-inch wheels can call for 33 PSI while the same model year with optional 19 or 20-inch performance tires can call for up to 39 PSI. Some model years also add a separate, higher ECO setting for better fuel economy. Always match the figure to the tire size actually on your car, not just the model year.
Is the rear tire pressure different from the front on a V60?
In the reference data reviewed for the 2019-2024 V60, front and rear pressures were listed as equal for each tire size. Some other Volvo models and load conditions (such as full passenger and cargo load) do call for a higher rear figure, so always check the loaded-condition line on your placard if you regularly carry heavy loads or a trailer.
What pressure should I use for the first-generation V60 (2011-2018)?
We could not confirm a specific PSI figure for the first-generation V60 against multiple independent sources, so no number is given here to avoid stating something unverified. Check the tire pressure placard on your driver-side door jamb, which will show the correct cold pressure for your exact tire size.
