Hi, I have a 1998 v70 with 205x60x15 tyres. I dont think these are volvo recommended so cant find correct pressures for fully laden. Can anyone please help. thanks jack

They're not a std size so there won't be a definitive reference. For fully loaded I'd go with 34psi front 36psi rear and see how it drives. Otherwise 32psi all round ?
I read a post a while ago by a guy who thought that the difference between cold & hot pressures should be about 4 psi if you are in the correct pressure range. So if the tyres are too soft they would heat up more so the pressure would rise more than 4 psi during use. Too hard = less difference in pressure hot & cold. On my car I would just inflate to Volvos recommendations for the closest size then check there is no big difference in hot & cold pressures. another way to do it....a bit expensive I think... http://www.race-technology.com/tyre_temperature_2_31116.html
Hi guys, thanks very much for the info. jack
