1976 Volvo 262 264 265
Tire Reserve Load
This chart lists the 1976 262, 264 and 265 tire designations recommended by Volvo with the
recommended inflation pressure for maximum loading and the tire reserve load percentage for each of
the tires listed. The tire reserve load percentage indicated is met or exceeded by each vehicle to which
the chart applies.
The difference, expressed as a percentage of tire load rating, between (a) the load rating of a tire at the
vehicle manufacturer's recommended inflation pressure at the maximum loaded vehicle weight and (b)
the load imposed upon the tire by the vehicle at that condition.
WARNING. Failure to maintain the recommended tire inflation pressure or to increase tire pressure as
recommended when operating at maximum loaded vehicle, or loading the vehicle beyond the capacities
specified on the tire placard affixed to the vehicle, may result in unsafe operating conditions due to
premature tire failure, unfavorable handling characteristics and excessive tire wear. The tire reserve load
percentage is a measure of tire capacity not of vehicle capacity. Loading beyond the specified vehicle
capacity may result in failure of other vehicle components.
