Catalogue mid-points, front / rear · 2.4-3.1 / 3.1-4.5 bar
35-45 psi F · 45-65 psi R · 2.4-3.1 / 3.1-4.5 bar · 276/379 kPa
On a Foton Tunland G7 the useful pair is 40 psi (2.76 bar) up front and 55 psi (3.79 bar) at the back, mid-range. TPMS typically warns near 30 psi (about 25% below target). That is already a soft tyre, not a fill target.
Spare and inflator kit
A matching full-size spare on the Foton Tunland G7 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.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (265/70R17 and others)
265/70R17 is the first planning size here. LT245/75R16 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 265/70R17 | 43 | 60 | 2.96 | 4.14 | 296 | 414 | Typical 17-inch load tyre |
| 245/70R16 | 42 | 59 | 2.9 | 4.07 | 290 | 407 | Common 16-inch all-terrain |

PSI, bar and kPa
1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi; 1 psi ≈ 6.89 kPa. Mid-points on the Tunland G7: 40 psi = 2.76 bar = 276 kPa.

| 35 | 2.41 | 241 |
| 36 | 2.48 | 248 |
| 38 | 2.62 | 262 |

Pressure against load
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 | 58 psi / 4 bar |
How to set the Tunland G7
- Park the Foton Tunland G7 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 35-45 psi / 2.4-3.1 bar front and 45-65 psi / 3.1-4.5 bar rear on this catalogue row.
- Recheck all four. A 2 psi miss on a front-wheel drive Tunland G7 is enough to feel a pull.
- Refit valve caps and reset TPMS if the handbook asks for a relearn.
Foton Tunland G7 placard versus sidewall
The tyre-information placard on a Foton Tunland G7 sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 35-45 / 45-65 psi.
Temperature and a cold gauge
Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 40 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this Tunland G7.
| 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 |
Foton notes
No special Foton exception: the Tunland G7 uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.
A cheap gauge and a monthly habit will do more for this Tunland G7 than nitrogen upsells.

Questions about this Tunland G7
Front versus rear on the Foton Tunland G7?
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.
What tyre pressure should a Foton Tunland G7 use?
Catalogue reference is 35-45 psi front and 45-65 psi rear (2.4-3.1 / 3.1-4.5 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.
What is that in bar and kPa for the Tunland G7?
Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
How often should I check a Tunland G7?
Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.
What PSI if I plus-size toward LT245/75R16?
Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 265/70R17, 245/70R16 and LT245/75R16 as a planning band.
