1997 850 R wagon - 215/45/17 RE 730's on stock Volans.
Stock suspention but with Volvo option strut brace.

Currently running 38 psi up front and 35 out back.

I judge the psi by shoulder edge wear. I run a few chalk lines over the edge of the tread and then go play and see how much I scrub off. Since it's a great mountain road I usually get to about 1/3 to 1/2 the shoulder scrubbed off. I'll probably play with the rear psi to offset a little of the understeer.
