V70: Wheels/Brakes - warp core?

Furryfred99 · Oct 24th, 2008, 17:34

Hi everyone.I'm a new convert to a Volvo having previously driven a Rover 600(diesel-great engine lousy bodywork)and then two Renaults, Megane and Scenic but have now got a 08 V70(which my late father would have been drooling over-he always wanted a 164 ) because its the only thing I can get a Ridgeback and a Great Dane in in comfort.
The title of the thread is to do with the tyre pressures which according to the handbook are 260 Kpa(Kilo pascals?)the only time I've heard that before is on Star Trek!

100kpa = 1 bar, therefore 260 = 2.6 bar
