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

The DR Automobiles DR F35 catalogue band is 32-35 psi front and 32-35 psi rear — 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar, or about 231 / 231 kPa — measured cold. A 10 °C overnight drop takes roughly 1 psi (0.07 bar) off a closed DR Automobiles tyre.

How to set the DR F35

Park the DR Automobiles DR F35 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 DR F35 is enough to feel a pull.
Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

Temperature and a cold gauge

Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this DR F35.

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

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

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the DR Automobiles DR F35 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.

DR Automobiles DR F35 placard versus sidewall

Sidewall PSI is a carcass maximum. Recommended operating pressure for this DR F35 is the pillar sticker, near 34/34 psi.

PSI, bar and kPa

1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi; 1 psi ≈ 6.89 kPa. Mid-points on the DR F35: 34 psi = 2.31 bar = 231 kPa.

PSI	Bar	kPa

Estimated pressure by tyre size (195/65R15 and others)

If your DR Automobiles DR F35 no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 195/65R15 or 225/45R17 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Tyre size	Front PSI	Rear PSI	Front bar	Rear bar	Front kPa	Rear kPa	Note
195/65R15	34	34	2.34	2.34	234	234	Very common compact
225/45R17	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Sport 17-inch
245/40R18	36	36	2.48	2.48	248	248	Wide touring 18-inch
185/65R15	33	33	2.28	2.28	228	228	Small / older car
215/50R17	35	35	2.41	2.41	241	241	Plus-size 17-inch
225/40R18	36	36	2.48	2.48	248	248	Low-profile 18-inch
205/60R16	34	34	2.34	2.34	234	234	Taller 16-inch
205/55R16	34	34	2.34	2.34	234	234	Typical mid-compact OEM

DR Automobiles notes

No special DR Automobiles exception: the DR F35 uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.

If the DR Automobiles sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this DR F35

When does TPMS warn on a DR Automobiles DR F35?

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

What PSI if I plus-size toward 245/40R18?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 195/65R15, 225/45R17 and 245/40R18 as a planning band.

Is the sidewall number correct on a DR Automobiles DR F35?

No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The DR F35 placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.

Front versus rear on the DR Automobiles DR F35?

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.

How often should I check a DR F35?

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