Ford Focus CC rear tyre pressure

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

The rear of a passenger car takes passengers, luggage and, on vans, payload. Catalogue rear pressure on the Ford Focus CC is 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar. Size estimates on this page include 195/65R15, 225/45R17 and 215/50R17 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.

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

If your Ford Focus CC 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	—	2.34	—	234	Very common compact
225/45R17	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Sport 17-inch
215/50R17	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Plus-size 17-inch
225/50R17	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Touring 17-inch
185/65R15	—	33	—	2.28	—	228	Small / older car
225/40R18	—	36	—	2.48	—	248	Low-profile 18-inch
205/60R16	—	34	—	2.34	—	234	Taller 16-inch
215/55R16	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Slightly wider 16-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	34 psi / 2.34 bar	35 psi / 2.41 bar
Motorway + luggage	35 psi / 2.41 bar	37 psi / 2.55 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 Focus CC.

How to set the Focus CC

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

Temperature drift

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

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

Ford notes

Ford UK placards on the Focus CC are often printed in PSI even when the handbook also shows bar. A Mondeo, Focus or Kuga does not share a Transit number. Loaded vans use the second column.

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the Ford Focus CC 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 Ford sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this Focus CC

Front versus rear on the Ford Focus CC?

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 tyre pressure should a Ford Focus CC 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.

When does TPMS warn on a Ford Focus CC?

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

Is the sidewall number correct on a Ford Focus CC?

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