1 Tire Marking problem of the 2003 Volvo XC90

Failure Date: 08/25/2003

Maximum tire pressure discrepancy between tire manufacturer and the tire pressure used by the vehicle manufacturer. The michelin pilot hxmxm4 (235/60-18) which are the default 18" tires on the Volvo Xc90 from the factory has a max 35psi while other tires of the same size has upto 51psi max. The vehicle manufacturer recommends 39psi for full loads which is above the max psi. Contacted michelin customer service 1-800-847-3435 directly to inquire. Their response was "the wrong tire was installed. " still waiting for a response from Volvo. So far no official word from either. No one seems to be aware of this discrepancy but we run the risk of over-inflating or under-inflating which is huge safety hazard.
