The front axle of a Caravans-Wohnm Swift steers and, on front-wheel drive cars, often pulls as well. Catalogue front pressure is 45-65 psi / 3.1-4.5 bar. TPMS typically warns near 41 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.
Caravans-Wohnm Swift placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Caravans-Wohnm Swift sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 45-65 / 45-65 psi.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (245/40R18 and others)
245/40R18 is the first planning size here. 195/65R15 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 | 50 | — | 3.45 | — | 345 | — | Wide touring 18-inch |
| 205/55R16 | 50 | — | 3.45 | — | 345 | — | Typical mid-compact OEM |
| 195/65R15 | 50 | — | 3.45 | — | 345 | — | Very common compact |
| 205/60R16 | 50 | — | 3.45 | — | 345 | — | Taller 16-inch |
| 215/50R17 | 50 | — | 3.45 | — | 345 | — | Plus-size 17-inch |
| 225/45R17 | 50 | — | 3.45 | — | 345 | — | Sport 17-inch |
| 185/65R15 | 50 | — | 3.45 | — | 345 | — | Small / older car |
| 225/40R18 | 50 | — | 3.45 | — | 345 | — | Low-profile 18-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 | 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 |
Steering feel on the Swift lives on this axle. Do not drop front pressure to “soften” a plus-size 195/65R15; you will roll the sidewall in a roundabout.
How to set the Swift
- Park the Caravans-Wohnm Swift 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 45-65 psi / 3.1-4.5 bar front and 45-65 psi / 3.1-4.5 bar rear on this catalogue row.
- Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive Swift is enough to feel a pull.
- Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.
PSI, bar and kPa

Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 55 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Swift.
| 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 Swift 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 Swift 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.
If the Caravans-Wohnm sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Swift
What PSI if I plus-size toward 195/65R15?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 245/40R18, 205/55R16 and 195/65R15 as a planning band.
How often should I check a Swift?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
What is that in bar and kPa for the Swift?
Mid-points are about 3.79 bar (379 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
When does TPMS warn on a Caravans-Wohnm Swift?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 41 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
Front versus rear on the Caravans-Wohnm Swift?
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.
