Rear axle PSI and bar on the De Tomaso Deauville

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 Deauville rears often need the sticker’s second column, not a copy of the front 32-35 psi figure. Under-inflation cooks the shoulders of a Deauville; over-inflation wears the centre rib and bangs every cat’s eye.

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

225/45R17 is the first planning size here. 205/60R16 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
225/45R17	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Sport 17-inch
195/65R15	—	34	—	2.34	—	234	Very common compact
205/60R16	—	34	—	2.34	—	234	Taller 16-inch
185/65R15	—	33	—	2.28	—	228	Small / older car
215/50R17	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Plus-size 17-inch
205/55R16	—	34	—	2.34	—	234	Typical mid-compact OEM
215/55R16	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Slightly wider 16-inch
225/50R17	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Touring 17-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	35 psi / 2.41 bar	36 psi / 2.48 bar
Motorway + luggage	36 psi / 2.48 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 Deauville.

How to set the Deauville

Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep Deauville 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.

PSI, bar and kPa

PSI-led conversions for the De Tomaso Deauville band (32-35 / 32-35).

PSI	Bar	kPa
30	2.07	207
32	2.21	221
33	2.28	228

Temperature drift

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

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

De Tomaso notes

No special De Tomaso exception: the Deauville 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 De Tomaso Deauville 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.

Keep the De Tomaso Deauville on the printed band; use 225/45R17 and 205/60R16 only as a map for non-OEM wheels.

Questions about this Deauville

How often should I check a Deauville?

Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.

What tyre pressure should a De Tomaso Deauville 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.

Front versus rear on the De Tomaso Deauville?

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.

Should I bleed pressure after a motorway run?

No. Heat raises the gauge. Set cold only. Bleeding a hot tyre leaves it low the next morning.

What PSI if I plus-size toward 205/60R16?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 225/45R17, 195/65R15 and 205/60R16 as a planning band.
