I was surprised you couldn't find them in either manual, made me have a look myself as you say, not there. So I looked in my Volvo owners handbook, page 67.
Front 1-3 persons 26, full load 27 Rear 1-3 persons 28, full load 41 For long-distance driving at speeds near that of maximum for the vehicle, pressure should be increased by 4.5psi. Love the the terminology of the day This all of course refers to the original tyre size of 165/80/15 |

It would depend on the tyre size and load carried.
Did you check around the door shuts for a sticker? 23 psi front 26 rear as far as I know. https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/archi.../t-147009.html

Bob 1967's pressures seem like they are for bias ply tires. Underdrive's values are for the radial tires except I think he has a typo. The recommended pressure for the rear with full load is 31 psi. There is a note that the maximum pressure for the radial tires should not exceed 36 psi.
Of course, that was for radial tires of the original size (165) and designed in the previous century |

I've just noticed that all this information is repeated inside the back cover of the handbook (which isn't the first edition) so I would doubt Volvo got it wrong. |
