Treat this page as a map of the Ormocar band. The legal setpoint is the printed door-pillar label for your VIN. Under-inflation cooks the shoulders of a Ormocar; over-inflation wears the centre rib and bangs every cat’s eye.
How to set the Ormocar
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep Ormocar numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 55 psi (3.79 bar) front and 55 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.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (225/50R17 and others)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This Ormocar sample opens with 225/50R17, then 225/40R18 and 215/50R17.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 225/50R17 | 50 | 50 | 3.45 | 3.45 | 345 | 345 | Touring 17-inch |
| 225/40R18 | 50 | 50 | 3.45 | 3.45 | 345 | 345 | Low-profile 18-inch |
| 215/50R17 | 50 | 50 | 3.45 | 3.45 | 345 | 345 | Plus-size 17-inch |
| 245/40R18 | 50 | 50 | 3.45 | 3.45 | 345 | 345 | Wide touring 18-inch |
| 215/55R16 | 50 | 50 | 3.45 | 3.45 | 345 | 345 | Slightly wider 16-inch |
| 205/55R16 | 50 | 50 | 3.45 | 3.45 | 345 | 345 | Typical mid-compact OEM |
| 195/65R15 | 50 | 50 | 3.45 | 3.45 | 345 | 345 | Very common compact |
| 225/45R17 | 50 | 50 | 3.45 | 3.45 | 345 | 345 | Sport 17-inch |
PSI, bar and kPa
PSI-led conversions for the Caravans-Wohnm Ormocar band (45-65 / 45-65).
| PSI | Bar | kPa |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | 3.45 | 345 |
| 55 | 3.79 | 379 |
| 60 | 4.14 | 414 |
| 65 | 4.48 | 448 |
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 | 50 psi / 3.45 bar | 50 psi / 3.45 bar |
| Full occupancy | 50 psi / 3.45 bar | 50 psi / 3.45 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 50 psi / 3.45 bar | 50 psi / 3.45 bar |
Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 55 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Ormocar.
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 52 psi | 3.59 bar | 359 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 53 psi | 3.65 bar | 365 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 54 psi | 3.72 bar | 372 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 55 psi | 3.79 bar | 379 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 57 psi | 3.93 bar | 393 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 58 psi | 4 bar | 400 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
Caravans-Wohnm notes
No special Caravans-Wohnm exception: the Ormocar 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 Caravans-Wohnm Ormocar usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 45-65 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 Caravans-Wohnm Ormocar on the printed band; use 225/50R17 and 215/50R17 only as a map for non-OEM wheels.

Questions about this Ormocar
How often should I check a Ormocar?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
What PSI if I plus-size toward 215/50R17?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 225/50R17, 225/40R18 and 215/50R17 as a planning band.
Front versus rear on the Caravans-Wohnm Ormocar?
This row is 45-65 F / 45-65 R. Even when they match, a laden rear can justify a higher number if the sticker prints one.
When does TPMS warn on a Caravans-Wohnm Ormocar?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 41 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Caravans-Wohnm Ormocar?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The Ormocar placard is the operating target, near 45-65/45-65 psi.
