2.31 / 2.31 bar · 32-35 / 32-35 psi
32-35 psi F · 32-35 psi R · 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar · 231/231 kPa
Kilopascals show up on some Asian stickers and ISO sheets. 231 kPa front and 231 kPa rear is the Abarth 124 GT midpoint (100 kPa = 1 bar). TPMS typically warns near 25 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.
kPa, bar and PSI
kPa-led conversions. 220 kPa is 2.2 bar and about 32 psi — handy if this 124 GT sticker uses SI units.
| kPa | Bar | PSI |

| 207 | 2.07 | 30 |
| 221 | 2.21 | 32 |

Estimated pressure by tyre size (225/40R18 and others)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This 124 GT sample opens with 225/40R18, then 205/60R16 and 205/55R16.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 225/40R18 | 36 | 36 | 2.48 | 2.48 | 248 | 248 | Low-profile 18-inch |

Abarth 124 GT placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Abarth 124 GT sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 32-35 / 32-35 psi.
Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this 124 GT.
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 31 psi | 2.14 bar | 214 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 32 psi | 2.21 bar | 221 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 33 psi | 2.28 bar | 228 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 34 psi | 2.34 bar | 234 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 36 psi | 2.48 bar | 248 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 37 psi | 2.55 bar | 255 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
How to set the 124 GT
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep 124 GT numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 34 psi (2.31 bar) front and 34 psi rear.
- If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
- Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.
Load notes
Load moves the rear of a passenger car first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 34 psi / 2.34 bar | 34 psi / 2.34 bar |
| Full occupancy | 34 psi / 2.34 bar | 35 psi / 2.41 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 35 psi / 2.41 bar | 37 psi / 2.55 bar |
Abarth notes
No special Abarth exception: the 124 GT uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Abarth 124 GT usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 32-35 psi). A space-saver is commonly 60 psi / 4.1 bar — read that tyre’s own sidewall. An inflator kit is not a spare; check the sealant date.
If the Abarth sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this 124 GT
What is that in bar and kPa for the 124 GT?
Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.
How often should I check a 124 GT?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
When does TPMS warn on a Abarth 124 GT?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 25 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
What tyre pressure should a Abarth 124 GT use?
Catalogue reference is 32-35 psi front and 32-35 psi rear (2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Abarth 124 GT?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The 124 GT placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
