No, Volvos are not heavy. Most in 1987 are around 3000#. They have high'ish GVW but even that is not that great at 4-4300#. With our sidewalls, it is hard to find tires NOT in that load range.

I will reiterate my common theme...rarely used cars benefit from used tires. They are harder to find in our sizes but $50 a tire mounted for Kuhmo Solus tires only 2-years old is not an uncommon find.

Edit: To put it in perspective, even 86 load range tires are good enough for sedans ans 88 for wagons.
