1981 Volvo 242 Tires

Right here at Mavis. If you're starting to notice a pulse in your brake pedal or squealing when you stop, bring your 242 into your local Mavis shop - we keep the parts ready so we can usually get your 242 back on the road the same day. Our technicians typically recommend a brake inspection for the 1981 242 every 10,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.

It depends on your specific engine, so for the 1981 242 we usually suggest following the schedule in your owner's manual, or your car's maintenance light. Since oil change intervals can vary so much, our techs always double-check those factory specs as soon as you pull into a Mavis. This is how we make sure your 242 gets the right oil every time, to keep your warranty intact and your engine healthy.

To get the most life out of the new tires on your 242, we do highly recommend a 4-wheel alignment during your tire installation. This prevents the uneven tread wear that can quickly ruin a fresh set of tires on a 1981 242. Ask about our local wheel alignment services when you visit.

Because the 1981 242 features different wheel options depending on the trim level, there isn't just one standard size.

Using a size other than the factory-approved size for your 1981 Volvo 242 can cause rubbing in the wheel well and even interfere with your speedometer or safety sensors.
