What size tyres are actually fitted to your car? It will probably be a bit of trial and error to find the optimum pressure for your needs, especially if you car does not have the original spec wheels and/or tyres.

I've run 164s (if you're new to old Volvos, it's a similar car) with various combinations of wheel and tyre size and have tried out different pressures; happy to share relevant observations once I know what tyres you are running.

Meanwhile, treat the Volvo figure as the minimum safe pressure.
