Of course, that was for radial tires of the original size (165) and designed in the previous century

Definitely not my typo, maybe Volvo got it wrong. It also goes on to say 'Maximum pressure may not exceed 45psi'. All the pressures quoted are also given in kp/cm2 and match the psi.
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.
