Hi, I am registering my volvo onto spanish plates and the testing authorities have insisted that the 195 x 60 x R16 are no good and I must put 205 x 60 x R16 VW on the car. I cant find tyre pressures for this size so shall be grateful if anyone please knows for normal and fully laden use. Thanks jack.

Same as the others, between 32-36 depending on what you like
195-60-16 really is a very odd size tire

Here's an excerpt of sensible tire pressures for the European market 850's.

If you go with a 205/60R16 the tire will be too tall and the fronts are going to rub. Since you are going from a 195 to a 205, your sidewall has now gone from 60% of 195mm to 60% of 205mm. I would recommend a 205/55 or 205/50 to keep the height of the tire consistent.
