The front axle of a Gac Gonow GX6 steers and, on front-wheel drive cars, often pulls as well. Catalogue front pressure is 35-45 psi / 2.4-3.1 bar. Size estimates on this page include 265/70R17, LT265/70R17 and 255/65R17 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker.
Gac Gonow GX6 placard versus sidewall
If the Gac Gonow sticker is painted over, the handbook is next. This website is a map, not a replacement VIN label.
Estimated pressure by tyre size (265/70R17 and others)
If your Gac Gonow GX6 no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 265/70R17 or LT265/70R17 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.
| Tyre size | Front PSI | Rear PSI | Front bar | Rear bar | Front kPa | Rear kPa | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 265/70R17 | 43 | — | 2.96 | — | 296 | — | Typical 17-inch load tyre |
| LT265/70R17 | 48 | — | 3.31 | — | 331 | — | LT 17-inch |
| 255/65R17 | 43 | — | 2.96 | — | 296 | — | Highway 17-inch |
| 235/75R15 | 41 | — | 2.83 | — | 283 | — | Older compact truck |
| 245/70R16 | 42 | — | 2.9 | — | 290 | — | Common 16-inch all-terrain |
| 285/70R17 | 44 | — | 3.03 | — | 303 | — | Wide all-terrain |
| 275/65R18 | 43 | — | 2.96 | — | 296 | — | Plus-size 18-inch |
| LT245/75R16 | 48 | — | 3.31 | — | 331 | — | LT-metric, higher load |
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 | 40 psi / 2.76 bar | 56 psi / 3.86 bar |
| Motorway + luggage | 41 psi / 2.83 bar | 59 psi / 4.07 bar |
Steering feel on the GX6 lives on this axle. Do not drop front pressure to “soften” a plus-size 255/65R17; you will roll the sidewall in a roundabout.
How to set the GX6
- Park the Gac Gonow GX6 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 GX6 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 40 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this GX6.
| 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 |
Gac Gonow notes
No special Gac Gonow exception: the GX6 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 Gac Gonow GX6 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 Gac Gonow sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this GX6
What is that in bar and kPa for the GX6?
Mid-points are about 2.76 bar (276 kPa) front and 3.79 bar (379 kPa) rear.
Is the sidewall number correct on a Gac Gonow GX6?
No. Sidewall PSI is a maximum. The GX6 placard is the operating target, near 35-45/45-65 psi.
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.
When does TPMS warn on a Gac Gonow GX6?
Direct TPMS typically flags about 25% below placard — near 30 psi on this row. Fill to the sticker, not to the lamp.
What tyre pressure should a Gac Gonow GX6 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.
