European and UK handbooks usually quote bar. The Aixam Crossover catalogue is 2.2-2.4 bar front and 2.2-2.4 bar rear (midpoint 2.31 / 2.31). Size estimates on this page include 245/60R18, 255/50R20 and 245/55R19 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.
Bar, PSI and kPa
Bar-led conversions around the Aixam Crossover. 2.2-2.4 bar is not “32-35 divided by ten”.

|---|---|---|
| 2.07 | 30 | 207 |
| 2.21 | 32 | 221 |
| 2.28 | 33 | 228 |
| 2.31 | 33.5 | 231 |

Aixam Crossover placard versus sidewall
If the Aixam sticker is painted over, the handbook is next. This website is a map, not a replacement VIN label.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (245/60R18 and others)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a SUV / crossover. This Crossover sample opens with 245/60R18, then 255/50R20 and 245/55R19.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 245/60R18 | 36 | 37 | 2.48 | 2.55 | 248 | 255 | Heavier CUV |
| 255/50R20 | 37 | 37 | 2.55 | 2.55 | 255 | 255 | 20-inch plus-size |
| 245/55R19 | 36 | 36 | 2.48 | 2.48 | 248 | 248 | Low-profile 19-inch |
| 225/65R17 | 35 | 35 | 2.41 | 2.41 | 241 | 241 | Very common 17-inch |
| 235/65R17 | 35 | 36 | 2.41 | 2.48 | 241 | 248 | Mid-size SUV |
| 235/60R18 | 36 | 36 | 2.48 | 2.48 | 248 | 248 | Plus-size 18-inch |
| 225/60R18 | 35 | 35 | 2.41 | 2.41 | 241 | 241 | Highway CUV |

Load notes
Load moves the rear of a SUV / crossover 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 | 35 psi / 2.41 bar | 36 psi / 2.48 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 36 psi / 2.48 bar | 36 psi / 2.48 bar |
How to set the Crossover
- Park the Aixam Crossover for at least three hours (cold tyres).
- Use a calibrated gauge, not the only meter on a forecourt hose.
- Set the placard for that axle — about 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar front and 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar rear on this catalogue row.
- Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive Crossover is enough to feel a pull.
- Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.
Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Crossover.
| 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 |
Aixam notes
No special Aixam exception: the Crossover 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 Aixam Crossover 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 Aixam sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Crossover
What is that in bar and kPa for the Crossover?
Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.
How often should I check a Crossover?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
Front versus rear on the Aixam Crossover?
This row is 32-35 F / 32-35 R. Even when they match, a laden rear can justify a higher number if the sticker prints one.
Should I bleed pressure after a motorway run?
No. Heat raises the gauge. Set cold only. Bleeding a hot tyre leaves it low the next morning.
What tyre pressure should a Aixam Crossover 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.
