What PSI for a DFSK City Pickup?

Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive
Body: pickup / double-cab
PSI F / R: 32-35 / 32-35
Bar F / R: 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4

psi

34 / 34

Catalogue mid-points, front / rear · 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar

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

If a City Pickup owner asks “what PSI?”, start at 34 at the steering axle and 34 at the rear, then confirm the placard. TPMS typically warns near 25 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target. Commercial and load-biased bodies like this pickup / double-cab often need a higher rear; LT or C-type sizes such as 265/70R17 are not filled like a Fiesta.

DFSK City Pickup placard versus sidewall

Sidewall PSI is a carcass maximum. Recommended operating pressure for this City Pickup is the pillar sticker, near 34/34 psi.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (LT245/75R16 and others)

If your DFSK City Pickup no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest LT245/75R16 or 235/75R15 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Tyre size	Front PSI	Rear PSI	Front bar	Rear bar	Front kPa	Rear kPa	Note
LT245/75R16	42	46	2.9	3.17	290	317	LT-metric, higher load
235/75R15	35	37	2.41	2.55	241	255	Older compact truck
265/70R17	37	39	2.55	2.69	255	269	Typical 17-inch load tyre
275/65R18	37	40	2.55	2.76	255	276	Plus-size 18-inch
255/65R17	37	39	2.55	2.69	255	269	Highway 17-inch
245/70R16	36	38	2.48	2.62	248	262	Common 16-inch all-terrain
LT265/70R17	42	48	2.9	3.31	290	331	LT 17-inch

How to set the City Pickup

Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep City Pickup 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.
Log date, ambient temperature and the four readings.

Load notes

Load moves the rear of a pickup / double-cab 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
Payload / towing	35 psi / 2.41 bar	37 psi / 2.55 bar

Temperature drift

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

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

DFSK notes

No special DFSK exception: the City Pickup 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 DFSK City Pickup 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 DFSK City Pickup on the printed band; use LT245/75R16 and 265/70R17 only as a map for non-OEM wheels.

Questions about this City Pickup

What PSI if I plus-size toward 265/70R17?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use LT245/75R16, 235/75R15 and 265/70R17 as a planning band.

When does TPMS warn on a DFSK City Pickup?

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

How often should I check a City Pickup?

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

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.

Is the sidewall number correct on a DFSK City Pickup?

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