2.3 bar is not 23 psi. On this Street Cart 2.2-2.4 bar converts to about 32-35 psi. Use the table, not a guess. Under-inflation cooks the shoulders of a Street Cart; over-inflation wears the centre rib and bangs every cat’s eye.

Alba Mobility Street Cart placard versus sidewall

If the Alba Mobility sticker is painted over, the handbook is next. This website is a map, not a replacement VIN label.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (205/55R16 and others)

If your Alba Mobility Street Cart no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 205/55R16 or 215/50R17 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

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.

How to set the Street Cart

  1. Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
  2. Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep Street Cart numbers in your head.
  3. Add air in short bursts toward 34 psi (2.31 bar) front and 34 psi rear.
  4. If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.
  5. 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 Street Cart.

Alba Mobility notes

No special Alba Mobility exception: the Street Cart 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 Street Cart 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 Street Cart on the printed band; use 205/55R16 and 185/65R15 only as a map for non-OEM wheels.

Questions about this Street Cart

What tyre pressure should a Alba Mobility Street Cart 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 Alba Mobility Street Cart?

No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The Street Cart placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.

Front versus rear on the Alba Mobility Street Cart?

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.

How often should I check a Street Cart?

Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.

What PSI if I plus-size toward 185/65R15?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 205/55R16, 215/50R17 and 185/65R15 as a planning band.
