Recommended pressure means the vehicle placard, not the tyre sidewall. For a Casalini Pick Up12 the catalogue proxy is 32-35/32-35 psi (2.2-2.4/2.2-2.4 bar). TPMS typically warns near 25 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.

How to set the Pick Up12

  1. Park the Casalini Pick Up12 for at least three hours (cold tyres).
  2. Use a calibrated gauge, not the only meter on a forecourt hose.
  3. 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.
  4. Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive Pick Up12 is enough to feel a pull.
  5. Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

Casalini Pick Up12 placard versus sidewall

The tyre-information placard on a Casalini Pick Up12 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 Pick Up12 sample opens with 245/40R18, then 215/55R16 and 225/40R18.

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.

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.

If the Casalini sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

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.

When does TPMS warn on a Casalini Pick Up12?

Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 25 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.

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.

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.

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.
