We've been looking at Tarragona in Catalonia for our road trip (from Western Sweden) but during what period would be better for avoiding tourists, traffic etc? We will be driving a 30 year old car with no AC, so are there any enviromental regulations we need to be mindful of (such as umweltzone in Germany)?
Any suggestions, hotels or alternate routes welcome.

late spring can already be quite hot in the Tarragona area. Further north in the pre-Pyrenees the temperature still holds for some weeks

Catalonia it's well known for its numerous tolls in the highways; use the National roads (N-XX)
There is no environmental regulation on this topic, only in Barcelona after 2020 you won't be allowed to enter with cars older than 20 years

Girona, Barcelona (obv), the Costa Brava region. If you want nature and hiking Parc d'Aigüestortes and the Pyrenaic region is quite nice.

In the Tarragona Area you can visit a lot of little things. I'm into history and stone villages so obviously my sights are biased:
Tarragona itself, Siurana, Mont-Roig del Camp, Castell de Tamarit, Punta de la mora, torre dels escipions, arc de bera, Miravet, Montblanc, Guimerà, Wining in the Priorat comarca, Scala Dei, you can also go all the way up to Sitges (which is not far away from Barcelona)
As for the coast I like Costa Brava better but down there there are also some nice things (L'ametlla de Mar, Delta de L'Ebre, Have a Paella in Sant Carles de la ràpita)
