I actually have a similar problem. I recently purchased a 2000 Volvo. The
Michelin sidewalls say air pressure should be 44lbs, while the sticker on
the car say the maximum pressure should be 36lbs. I called the dealer who
said I should ignore the tires and follow the (Volvo) manufacturers
recommendation.

Ken,
Clearly, you are not running the same load range tires that the
manufacturer recommends. If you are ar hauling heavy loads, i'd get
the proper tires and inflate them to the recommended pressure.
If you do not haul heavy loads, stick with the tires you have and inflate
them as the tire manufacturer recommends.
