Recommended pressure means the vehicle placard, not the tyre sidewall. For a Brilliance Jinbei the catalogue proxy is 32-35/32-35 psi (2.2-2.4/2.2-2.4 bar). Size estimates on this page include 245/40R18, 225/40R18 and 225/50R17 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.
How to set the Jinbei
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep Jinbei 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.
Brilliance Jinbei placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Brilliance Jinbei 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)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This Jinbei sample opens with 245/40R18, then 225/40R18 and 225/50R17.

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 | 35 psi / 2.41 bar | 36 psi / 2.48 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 36 psi / 2.48 bar | 37 psi / 2.55 bar |
Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Jinbei.
| 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 |
Brilliance notes
No special Brilliance exception: the Jinbei 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 Brilliance Jinbei 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 Brilliance sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Jinbei
What is that in bar and kPa for the Jinbei?
Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.
What tyre pressure should a Brilliance Jinbei 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.
How often should I check a Jinbei?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
What PSI if I plus-size toward 225/50R17?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 245/40R18, 225/40R18 and 225/50R17 as a planning band.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Brilliance Jinbei?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The Jinbei placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
