A 3 psi miss on one front corner of this LE 22 Limited Edition shows up as a wander before the TPMS lamp bothers you. Target 34 psi (2.31 bar) cold. A 10 °C overnight drop takes roughly 1 psi (0.07 bar) off a closed Alba Mobility tyre.
Alba Mobility LE 22 Limited Edition placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Alba Mobility LE 22 Limited Edition sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 32-35 / 32-35 psi.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (245/40R18 and others)
245/40R18 is the first planning size here. 225/40R18 is usually the plus-size or LT step. Keep load index at or above original equipment.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 245/40R18 | 36 | — | 2.48 | — | 248 | — | Wide touring 18-inch |
| 215/55R16 | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | — | Slightly wider 16-inch |
| 225/40R18 | 36 | — | 2.48 | — | 248 | — | Low-profile 18-inch |
| 225/45R17 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Sport 17-inch |
| 185/65R15 | 33 | — | 2.28 | — | 228 | — | Small / older car |
| 225/50R17 | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | — | Touring 17-inch |
| 195/65R15 | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | — | Very common compact |
| 205/60R16 | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | — | Taller 16-inch |
Pressure against load
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 | 38 psi / 2.62 bar |
Steering feel on the LE 22 Limited Edition lives on this axle. Do not drop front pressure to “soften” a plus-size 225/40R18; you will roll the sidewall in a roundabout.
How to set the LE 22 Limited Edition
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep LE 22 Limited Edition 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.

Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this LE 22 Limited Edition.
| 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 |
Alba Mobility notes
No special Alba Mobility exception: the LE 22 Limited Edition 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 Alba Mobility LE 22 Limited Edition 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.
Keep the Alba Mobility LE 22 Limited Edition on the printed band; use 245/40R18 and 225/40R18 only as a map for non-OEM wheels.

Questions about this LE 22 Limited Edition
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.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Alba Mobility LE 22 Limited Edition?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The LE 22 Limited Edition placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
How often should I check a LE 22 Limited Edition?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
What PSI if I plus-size toward 225/40R18?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 245/40R18, 215/55R16 and 225/40R18 as a planning band.
What tyre pressure should a Alba Mobility LE 22 Limited Edition 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.
