Rear axle PSI and bar on the Casalini Pick Up12

Drivetrain: front-wheel drive
Body: passenger car
PSI F / R: 32-35 / 32-35
Bar F / R: 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4

psi rear

2.31 bar · 231 kPa at the rear axle

32-35 psi F · 32-35 psi R · 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar · 231/231 kPa

Loaded Pick Up12 rears often need the sticker’s second column, not a copy of the front 32-35 psi figure. A 10 °C overnight drop takes roughly 1 psi (0.07 bar) off a closed Casalini tyre.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (225/45R17 and others)

Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a passenger car. This Pick Up12 sample opens with 225/45R17, then 205/60R16 and 225/40R18.

Tyre size	Front PSI	Rear PSI	Front bar	Rear bar	Front kPa	Rear kPa	Note
225/45R17	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Sport 17-inch
205/60R16	—	34	—	2.34	—	234	Taller 16-inch
225/40R18	—	36	—	2.48	—	248	Low-profile 18-inch
205/55R16	—	34	—	2.34	—	234	Typical mid-compact OEM
185/65R15	—	33	—	2.28	—	228	Small / older car
195/65R15	—	34	—	2.34	—	234	Very common compact
215/55R16	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Slightly wider 16-inch
245/40R18	—	36	—	2.48	—	248	Wide touring 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	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

A family passenger car with a boot full of luggage should use the laden rear figure if Ford, VW or Mercedes printed one. Otherwise the modest steps in the load table are only a sketch for this Pick Up12.

How to set the Pick Up12

Park the Casalini Pick Up12 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 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar front and 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar rear on this catalogue row.
Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive Pick Up12 is enough to feel a pull.
Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

PSI-led conversions for the Casalini Pick Up12 band (32-35 / 32-35).

PSI	Bar	kPa
30	2.07	207

Temperature drift

Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Pick Up12.

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

Casalini notes

No special Casalini exception: the Pick Up12 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 Casalini Pick Up12 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.

A cheap gauge and a monthly habit will do more for this Pick Up12 than nitrogen upsells.

Questions about this Pick Up12

What is that in bar and kPa for the Pick Up12?

Mid-points are about 2.31 bar (231 kPa) front and 2.31 bar (231 kPa) rear.

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 225/45R17, 205/60R16 and 225/40R18 as a planning band.

Is the sidewall number correct on a Casalini Pick Up12?

No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The Pick Up12 placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.

Front versus rear on the Casalini Pick Up12?

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.

What tyre pressure should a Casalini Pick Up12 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.
