The rear of a passenger car takes passengers, luggage and, on vans, payload. Catalogue rear pressure on the DR Automobiles DR6.0 is 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar. Size estimates on this page include 195/65R15, 205/60R16 and 225/40R18 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.
DR Automobiles DR6.0 placard versus sidewall
Sidewall PSI is a carcass maximum. Recommended operating pressure for this DR6.0 is the pillar sticker, near 34/34 psi.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (195/65R15 and others)
195/65R15 is the first planning size here. 225/40R18 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 195/65R15 | — | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | Very common compact |
| 205/60R16 | — | 34 | — | 2.34 | — | 234 | Taller 16-inch |
| 225/40R18 | — | 36 | — | 2.48 | — | 248 | Low-profile 18-inch |
| 215/50R17 | — | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | Plus-size 17-inch |
| 225/50R17 | — | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | Touring 17-inch |
| 215/55R16 | — | 35 | — | 2.41 | — | 241 | Slightly wider 16-inch |
| 185/65R15 | — | 33 | — | 2.28 | — | 228 | Small / older car |

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 DR6.0.
How to set the DR6.0
- Park the DR Automobiles DR6.0 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 DR6.0 is enough to feel a pull.
- Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.

Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this DR6.0.
| 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 |
DR Automobiles notes
No special DR Automobiles exception: the DR6.0 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 DR Automobiles DR6.0 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 DR Automobiles sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this DR6.0
Front versus rear on the DR Automobiles DR6.0?
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 DR6.0?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
Is the sidewall number correct on a DR Automobiles DR6.0?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The DR6.0 placard is the operating target, near 32-35/32-35 psi.
What is that in bar and kPa for the DR6.0?
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 195/65R15, 205/60R16 and 225/40R18 as a planning band.
