35-45 psi F · 45-65 psi R · 2.4-3.1 / 3.1-4.5 bar · 276/379 kPa
2.3 bar is not 23 psi. On this E-Doblo 2.4-3.1 bar converts to about 35-45 psi. Use the table, not a guess. TPMS typically warns near 30 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.
Bar, PSI and kPa
Bar-led conversions around the Fiat E-Doblo. 2.4-3.1 bar is not “35-45 divided by ten”.

Fiat E-Doblo placard versus sidewall
Sidewall PSI is a carcass maximum. Recommended operating pressure for this E-Doblo is the pillar sticker, near 40/55 psi.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (275/65R18 and others)
Planning cold pressures for sizes often seen on a light commercial. This E-Doblo sample opens with 275/65R18, then 245/70R16 and LT265/70R17.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 275/65R18 | 43 | 61 | 2.96 | 4.21 | 296 | 421 | Plus-size 18-inch |
| 245/70R16 | 42 | 59 | 2.9 | 4.07 | 290 | 407 | Common 16-inch all-terrain |
| LT265/70R17 | 48 | 69 | 3.31 | 4.76 | 331 | 476 | LT 17-inch |
| 265/70R17 | 43 | 60 | 2.96 | 4.14 | 296 | 414 | Typical 17-inch load tyre |
| 235/75R15 | 41 | 58 | 2.83 | 4 | 283 | 400 | Older compact truck |
| 255/65R17 | 43 | 60 | 2.96 | 4.14 | 296 | 414 | Highway 17-inch |

Load notes
Load moves the rear of a light commercial first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.
| Condition | Front (est.) | Rear (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 40 psi / 2.76 bar | 55 psi / 3.79 bar |
| Full occupancy | 41 psi / 2.83 bar | 57 psi / 3.93 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 42 psi / 2.9 bar | 59 psi / 4.07 bar |
How to set the E-Doblo
- Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
- Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep E-Doblo numbers in your head.
- Add air in short bursts toward 40 psi (2.76 bar) front and 55 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.
Temperature drift
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 40 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this E-Doblo.
| Ambient | Gauge (front mid) | Bar | kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| −5 °C (hard frost) | 37 psi | 2.55 bar | 255 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 0 °C | 38 psi | 2.62 bar | 262 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 8 °C (UK winter morning) | 39 psi | 2.69 bar | 269 kPa | Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm |
| 20 °C (set cold here) | 40 psi | 2.76 bar | 276 kPa | Baseline |
| 30 °C | 42 psi | 2.9 bar | 290 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
| 38 °C (heatwave tarmac) | 43 psi | 2.96 bar | 296 kPa | Do not bleed a hot tyre |
Fiat notes
No special Fiat exception: the E-Doblo 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 Fiat E-Doblo usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 45-65 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 Fiat sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this E-Doblo
Front versus rear on the Fiat E-Doblo?
This row is 35-45 F / 45-65 R. Even when they match, a laden rear can justify a higher number if the sticker prints one.
When does TPMS warn on a Fiat E-Doblo?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 30 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Fiat E-Doblo?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The E-Doblo placard is the operating target, near 35-45/45-65 psi.
What is that in bar and kPa for the E-Doblo?
Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
What PSI if I plus-size toward LT265/70R17?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 275/65R18, 245/70R16 and LT265/70R17 as a planning band.
