The Volvo Cars App completely transforms car ownership! 

Let's get the obvious out the way: if a car brand was JUST offering free towing for life, it would be pretty easy to draw some negative conclusions about the quality of their cars. Thankfully, this is Volvo that we're talking about. It's no secret that Volvo cars are incredibly reliable, boasting long lifespans, durable parts, and safety features that minimize risks of unexpected accidents. 

Regardless of what car you own, it can be easy to avoid thinking about your tires until something goes wrong. Unfortunately, things going wrong can be downright dangerous-and expensive too! 

While tires can be easy to neglect, keeping them in good shape is key in maximizing your new Volvo's performance, comfort, and safety. It's suggested to replace tires after six years of normal driving, although plenty of factors can shorten their lifespan.
